By Juili Ballal

On May 7, United Sports took on Speed Sports 17 during the Mira Bhayander Challenger League (MBCL Two). Speed Sports 17 won the toss and elected to bat at Bravo Cricket Academy Ground.

Batting first, Speed Sports 17 put together 7-115 in 20 overs. Opening batter Shreyas top scored with a 37-ball 33 and found an able ally in Anjit who contributed with a 17-ball 26. On the other hand, United Sports’ Arpan Das was the pick of the bowlers as he claimed 2-5 in three overs, including one maiden.

In response, United Sports made light work of the run chase as they completed the formalities in 17.3 overs with nine wickets in hand. Opening batter Abdul Hadi led the run chase with a delectable 56 off 54 balls. Hadi hammered eight boundaries during his unbeaten innings and stitched a 85-run partnership with his skipper Fardeen Shaikh (34) before the latter was run out. On the other hand, Speed Sports 17’s bowling looked listless as they failed to pick up a single wicket.

United Sports handed a crushing nine wicket defeat to Speed Sports 17 during Mira Bhayander Challenger League (MBCL Two) league match.
