    Kiran Shastri nails winner as Vethealth Delhi edges Phenom Basilan for 3x3 title

    Indian team Vethealth Delhi beats Phenom Basilan for 3x3 title in Fairview
    Jun 23, 2019

    VETHEALTH Delhi 3BL stamped its class and ruled the second leg of the Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas 3x3 Patriot's Cup, edging Phenom Basilan, 21-20, on Sunday at SM Fairview Events Center.

    Kiran Shastri buried the game-winning deuce with 3:36 on the clock as they became the first foreign team to win in the Philippines’ pro 3x3 circuit.

    "It was a hard fought tournament and we're really excited to be here," said the world No. 62 Shastri, who had eight points to lead the fight for the world no. 15 Delhi 3BL.

    "It was a good win for us and we’re really proud of the way we played."

    Shastri made good of his second try off of an offensive rebound from Bikramjit Gill to once again send Phenom Basilan home as bridesmaids.

    Amjyot Singh Gill poured seven points, Bikramjit Gill had four, and Inderbir Singh Gill scored a pair as the Indian squad snared the P10,000 cash prize in the tournament presented by Coca-Cola.

    VetHealth Delhi 3BL eliminated Wilkins Balanga, 22-15, in the semifinals.

    Franky Johnson waxed hot and fired 12 points for Phenom Basilan, as Roosevelt Adams and Marcus Hammonds both had four.

    Basilan, though, was able to gain some measure of revenge against first leg champs Gold's Gym Pasig, dethroning them in the semis, 20-18.

    It was the first time that the finals did not feature Pasig or Balanga dating back to the President's Cup.

    Gold's Gym Pasig Kings are set to miss the third leg, scheduled on July 6 at SM Muntinlupa, with the President's Cup champs set to see action in the Poitiers Challenger in France from July 6 to 7.

    The scores:

    Delhi 21 - Shastri 8, A. Gill 7, B. Gill 4, I. Gill 2.

    Basilan 20 - Johnson 12, Adams 4, Hammonds 4, Rike 0.
