SMAT 2024: Shivam Dube Smashes 7 Sixes in Blistering Knock on Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Return

Shivam Dube showcased a stunning display of power-hitting in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024. Playing against Services, Dube smashed 71* runs off just 36 balls, helping Mumbai post an impressive 192/4 in their 20 overs. His innings included 7 towering sixes and 2 boundaries, batting with a fiery strike rate of 197.22.

The game also saw Suryakumar Yadav in fine form. Both Dube and Yadav, fresh from their T20 World Cup 2024 success, used the domestic tournament to regain rhythm ahead of IPL 2025.

Shivam Dube and Suryakymar Yadav Dominate for Mumbai

Mumbai had a shaky start after losing Prithvi Shaw for a duck, his second in the tournament. Ajinkya Rahane and Shreyas Iyer contributed 22 and 20 runs, respectively, but the real fireworks began when Dube and Yadav joined forces.

The pair stitched a massive 130-run partnership for the fourth wicket, turning the game in Mumbai’s favor. Yadav played a classy knock of 70 off 46 balls before being dismissed by Vishal Guar. However, it was Dube’s monstrous six-hitting that stole the spotlight. His unbeaten knock ensured Mumbai posted a strong total.
