Mumbai pacer Mohit Avasthi led his side’s attack brilliantly with a 3-25 as Bengal choked in their small chase of 132 to suffer a 10-run defeat in their Elite Group B match of the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament here on Saturday.
Defending 19 runs in the final over, Avasthi took two off two balls by dismissing the hard-hitting Shahbaz Ahmed (12) and Writtick Chatterjee (0) to seal a second win for the Ajinkya Rahane-led side. But it was their other pacer Tushar Deshpande (2-19) who turned it around in the middle overs by dismissing a well set Ritwik Roy Chowdhury (31) in the 17th over that triggered the collapse.
Brief scores
