Hire’s Spell and Khandekar’s Blistering Batting Gives JD Sports Academy The Win

In ongoing U-14 Mumbai Real Cricket Foundation Cup, JD Sports Academy dominated Saga CA after scoring a competitive total of 259 in just 40 overs. The innings of Shreyas Varshney (57 off 63) and Ishan Khandekar (79 off 52) for JD Sports Academy propelled their final score where the bowlers could attack. Ishan’s aggressive innings provided the required punch.

As the chase began, Harsh Nadkar stood up to the bowlers of JD Sports Academy but unfortunately he was the only one to do so. Thanks to an incredible spell by Dhrusheel Hire, Saga CA were bowled out for 161 in the 34th over itself. Hire picked up 4 wickets in his 7-over spell giving away only 19 runs and building up the pressure with 3 maiden overs as well. Ultimately, JD Sports Academy won by a margin of 98 runs as Hire was awarded the Man of the Match.
