By Juili Ballal

Parkophene Cricketers took on Karnatak Sporting Association during the Young Comrade Shield. The match was played on December 17 and 18. Parkophene Cricketers won the toss and elected to bat.

Riding on Bhupen Lalwani’s scintillating double-century, Parkophene Cricketers posted a massive total of 393/3 in 70 overs. Lalwani muscled an unbeaten 203 and played some stunning shots in his blitzkrieg. He found an ally in Ayush Jethwa, who blasted an undefeated 138. On the other hand, Karnatak Sporting Association’s bowlers had no answers to Lalwani and Jethwa’s onslaught.

In reply, Karnatak Sporting Association were bowled out for 252 in 53.1 overs, and they lost the game by 141 runs. Gautam Waghela (77) and Gaurish Jadhav (50) fought hard with their valiant half-centuries but failed to take their team home. On the other hand, Rajesh Sardar was the most successful bowler for Parkophene Cricketers as he scalped 60/3.
