AurobindoAKSC brushes aside Remax Strikers in Petrofuel DC CaravansCUP

Aurobindo AKSC won the toss and elected to field first. However, their innings got off to a shaky start as Aurobindo AKSC's bowlers immediately put them under pressure.

Remax Strikers struggled to find their footing and faced constant challenges from the opposition's disciplined bowling attack. Despite the challenging circumstances, Athumani Siwa 16(31) and Mukul Pathak 17*(40) showed resilience and fought hard to stabilize the innings.

However, their efforts were not enough to build a substantial partnership or put up a formidable total on the scoreboard. Eventually, Remax Strikers finished their innings with a modest score of 62 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in the allocated 20 overs.

For Aurobindo AKSC, Vipin Abraham was the pick of the bowlers with mouth-watering figures of 4.0-1-10-3.
