On Sunday, PJ Hindu Gymkhana XI took on Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) XI at the former’s home turf in the GDCL. Winning the toss and electing to bat first, PJ Hindu Gymkhana posted a daunting 182-6 in 20 overs, courtesy a solid batting effort from opening batsman Saurabh Bahutule (36 off 28), middle order batsmen Megh Adhvaryu (38 off 21), Kunal Shroff (38 off 28), and Kevin Talati (21 off 12). Despite losing their first wicket in the second over, PJ Hindu Gymkhana held their batting together and put up a formidable score on board. With the ball, Yash Ramchandani was the pick of the bowlers as he struck with 3-36 in his four overs, and received good support from Gurvineet Singh (2-14 in 3 overs) and Amit Nayyar (1-19 in 2 overs).

In reply, MCA XI was done and dusted for a paltry 103 in 17.2 overs, losing the match by 79 runs. Vijay Singh (51 off 38) was the lone warrior, who could not find able allies to chase down the target. PJ Hindu Gymkhana put up a solid show with the ball, as the bowlers bowled a disciplined line and length on a consistent basis. Vedant Gabhawala (3-11 in 4 overs) and Ayush Parikh (2-27 in 3 overs) bowled well in tandem, alongside Paresh Shah and Dwij Adhvaryu, both accounting for one dismissal each. First with the bat and then with the ball, Kunal Shroff had a fantastic outing as he managed to scalp 3-11 in his two overs.

The all-rounder Kunal Shroffof PJ Hindu Gymkhana was bestowed with the Man of the Match award.
