SKerala disappointed in the final match of the Yaid Mushtaq Ali Trophy Group B. Against Assam, Kerala managed to score only 127 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in the allotted 20 overs. Abdul Basit, who came in at number 7 and showed a brilliant batting performance, saved Kerala from a massive collapse. Basit scored 46 runs off 31 balls and is not out. All the bowlers were brilliant for Assam.
Abdul Basit on the seventh wicket and Sachin Baby, who came as an impact player, brought Kerala to a respectable level. Basith started slowly and stormed in the last overs. He also shared an unbeaten 64-run partnership with Sachin Baby, who hit a total of 2 fours and 4 sixes in his innings. Along with Basith, Sachin Baby who scored 18 runs in 17 balls is also not out.
Kerala, who won six consecutive matches and confirmed the knockout, faced a setback against Assam by changing the batting order. Salman Nisar replaced Vishnu Vinod who was at number three after Varun Nayanar was out quickly. Salman’s return scoring only 8 runs in 14 balls was a heavy blow for Kerala. Rohan Kunnummal, who was only a shadow of last season’s form, also failed to raise the score. Coming after Salman’s return, Kerala’s best batsman of the season Vishnu Vinod scored 5 runs and skipper Sanju Samson scored 8 runs. Later, with the return of Sijomon Joseph and Rohan Kunnummal, Kerala slumped to 63 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in 12.4 overs.
