Partnerships of 63 on the 1st, 104 on 2nd and 52 on the 3rd helped Bengals post a big total. The man that stands out in Bengals Innings is our own Raiyan M. who scored his maiden century for the season. He was getting quick starts on every game he played but today he finished well. It was a well executed and explosive innings with 11 boundaries. Nadeem Bhai(2nd fifty for the season) supported Raiyan with his 54 off 58 balls, playing the spinners very well and maintaining a good run rate. There's hardly a match played by Bengals without any contribution from Raju Bhai, 27 off just 8 balls with 3 fours and 2 sixes. He alone scored 22 off the last over which was very handy as the game was a close finish. Manish bowled well keeping Bengals quiet in the middle overs and Manjunath took 3 wkts.

Raiyan M. and Mahmud Bhai bowled well cleaning up the tailenders while Raju Bhai took two cruicial wkts of Pankaj and Brijesh, ensuring Bengals' win.

Good Luck BnB for rest of the season.
