Navi Mumbai, Feb 24 (IANS) Mumbai wicketkeeper batter Hardik Tamore’s brilliant knock of 85 went in vain as Route Mobile went down by eight runs in the contest against DTDC in the 20th DY Patil T20 Cup at the University Ground in Nerul, Navi Mumbai on Tuesday. But the talking point of the day was Shreyas Iyer’s golden duck in BPCL’s afternoon encounter against Bank of Baroda.

After being asked to bat, DTDC posted 182 for nine in their 20 overs. In their response, Route Mobile fell short by eight runs to finish on 174 in 19.3 overs. Yash Thakur (4-29) and Shams Mulani (3-18) bowled well for Route Mobile. In their response, Tamore’s knock of 85 off just 47 balls, with 10 boundaries and three sixes, went in vain as Route Mobile fell short by just eight runs.

At the DY Patil Stadium, Shubham Rohilla (79: 48b, 5×4, 4×6) added 136 runs for the second wicket with Suraj Vashist (55: 39b, 7×4, 1×6), helping Indian Navy post 200 for five in their 20 overs. In their response, despite Atharva Taide’s 67 off just 38 balls with four boundaries and four sixes, Canara Bank fell short by nine runs.
