Another Mistry in the news, this time from a cricket field – Shaheen Mistry socres 165* in 69 balls
An enthralling one-sided competition took place on 5th of November between Dynamites & Collage Designs at Chereshwar Club in Trombay in the ongoing Architect Premier League (AT20) . Winning the toss first, Dynamites won the toss & chose to bat upfront. From the very first over the openers started to assault the bowling attack keeping the run rate always above 10 Runs per over. While M Kanankia gave adequate support at the start of the innings with a brisk 40 off just 26 balls, it was the onslaught of Shaheen Mistry which completely changed the game! We have seen Gayle & Mccullum tearing apart the bowling attacks in International Cricket, similarly it was Shaheen Mistry who performed with a similar feat scoring an unbeaten 165 off just 69 balls at this level. The knock was a sight to behold which comprised of as many as 10 huge sixes and 20 boundaries. Legside or offside, it did not matter, Shaheen smashed the bowlers in all parts of the ground with complete ease and a stamp of authority.
Mistry’s 165 ensured his team reached a huge total of 265 in 20 overs thus putting Collage Designs into huge pressure of chasing. While on the other side bowlers like A shetty and Sawale bowled wonderfully well for Dynamites to restrict the collage designs and put them under pressure. The pressure was quite visible as the opposition quickly gave away wickets one after another bundling them out for just 48 in just 10.2 overs!
