Murli hammered 23 boundaries and two sixes during his blitzkrieg. Middle order batter Prithviraj Misal joined forces with Murli to plunder run a ball 58. Misal peppered the boundary rope eight times. On the other hand, Apollo Cricket Club’s bowlers did not have any answers to the questions posed by Bombay Gymkhana batters. Prasanna Shukla was the pick of the bowlers as he struck with 2-40 in eight overs.
