Aditya Rawat’s 99* takes Boys Cricket Academy to a victory in the NL Dalmia U-12 Tournament

It was an exciting 22 overs per side match between Pravin Tambe Academy vs Boys Cricket Academy at Oval maidan. Boys academy won the toss and elected to bat first as they wanted to make a big score to keep Tambe academy under pressure.

They succeeded in their plans as Boys academy managed to post 182/2 in 22 overs. The batsman did their job perfectly & especially this 11 year old gifted talent called Aditya Rawat. Aditya who is just 11 years old looks far more matured and composed at the crease & he scored a splendid knock of 99 coming of just 66 balls against big bowlers of the opposition. Even BCA’s coach Mr. Rajan Dhotre has the same thing to say, that Aditya is a complete perfect batsman & seeing him play such good cricket at such a small age is always special. Aditya Rawat remained unbeaten on 99* on what could have been a fantastic and well deserved century. His knock was a perfect mixture of controlled aggression and classy shots which included 10 fours. Aditya pushed his team to a highly defendable total of 184/2 in 22 overs.

Chasing 185 at almost 9 runs per over, Pravin Tambe Academy succumbed to the pressure as well as good bowling by the opposition. Tambe Academy was all out for 103 in just 21 overs and handed over a victory by a margin of 83 runs to the Boys cricket academy. The bowlers did an excellent job & particularly leg spinner Mrunal Rane who bowled really well (3/21 in 5 overs). Talented Aditya Rawat was adjudged man of the match for his unbeaten heroics & he is certainly a bright prospect to look out for.
