Khan’s Ton Puts Sind in a commanding position as Buchade scalps 5

By Juili Ballal

Sind Sports Club and Young Maharashtra Cricket Club met during the Young Comrade Shield. The match was played on December 17 and 18. Sind Sports Club won the toss and elected to bat.

Sind Sports Club piled up a challenging score of 342/6 in 70 overs, thanks to Awais Khan’s brilliant 105. Khan played some stunning shots in his entertaining innings and guided his team to a daunting total. Ramanpreet Singh (88) and Sumit Meher (62) crafted delightful half-centuries and helped their team’s cause.

Chasing a mammoth 343, Young Maharashtra Cricket Club were bowled out for a paltry 138 in 43 overs. Ayush Raghuvanshi was the lone warrior in the fight, scoring 40, but his knock failed to see his side home. On the other hand, Sind Sports Club’s Hemant Buchade was the wrecker-in-chief, picking up 43/5 and Aditya Dhumal’s 36/3 complimented Buchade’s fifer.
