Just fresh from scoring a world record fastest triple century and the highest score ever in Giles shield, this boy seems to be not done yet. As we had already mentioned suryansh will be a player to watch out for & we seem to be getting right.
This little master is continuing his golden patch again with a brazen & effortless century against Vibgyor high school in the Giles Shield Tournament. It was the 3rd qualifier match between Vibgyor and Gundecha academy. Gundecha with the presence of a strong batting line up elected to bat first after winning the toss. The openers gave a good start with Eshan scoring a half century but could not convert it into big scores. It was again the little master Suryansh who blasted with a back to back century in no time. This time he scored an effortless 122 which again came in no time. He was again scoring freely in all the parts of the ground before he was unluckily self out in a spinners delivery or else he was again looking all set to do something big. Zenith (41) & Rudra (74) were also quite effective at the middle order lifting their teams total again to a good score (361 all out in 45 overs)
Vibgyor team felt the pressure of chasing such a big score. It was quite evident as they were all out for 138, thanks to some fantastic bowling by the opposition. Whatever suryansh touches seems to be turning into gold as he took 2 wickets with the ball too. The skipper suryansh got adequate support from Rajman Joshi took 3 wkts, Rudra bhatt who also chipped in with two wickets and Om Vadher take 1 wkts.
Gundecha team won the match again by a huge margin of 223 runs and little genius Suryansh Shedge was adjudged man of the match for obvious reasons (122 runs & 2 wickets). For sure, “Suryansh Shedge & Rudra Bhatt take team Gundecha to elite group. A step ahead from last year, after winning the plate ‘D’ group finals. Team Gundecha and coach are certainly happy looking at their team’s progress and efforts. Going with their current performance they are looking favorites to win the tournament too.

Into their 2nd League match of the Junior Champions League (Boys under 12 Cricket Tournament) organised by N L Dalmia High School, Pravin Tambe Academy were into a crucial face off with Hiranandani foundation after losing the 1st league match. The plot no.1 of Oval maidan witnessed a weird low scoring match as Hiranandani collapsed badly after winning the toss & electing to bat first.
It was surprising to see Hiranandani collapse in such a quick succession. The team was all out for just 19 runs in 8.1 overs. We have seen brett lee, we have seen shoaib akhtar & we have seen shane bond removing the stumps of the batsman with their sheer pace. We were lucky to witness a similar sight from this talented kid called Darshan bhanushali who was lethal with the bowl. The right arm pacer generated pace and swing which was unplayable for the opposition. The mini pace express returned with amazing bowling figures of 7/5 in 4 overs. What’s more interesting as well as entertaining to the eyes was 6 out of 7 wickets he dealt in clean bowled.
Hiranandani were all out for 19 runs which was chased easily by Pravin Tambe Academy as they won the match by 6 wickets. They lost 4 wickets because they actually gave their lower order batsman a chance to bat. Darshan was adjudged man of the match & his bowling has taken everyone’s notice in the cricketing circles.
Pravin Tambe Academy will be having their next match on 26th & the opposition should be worried about this mini pace express called Darshan for sure.
SVIS & Parle Tilak had an exciting encounter as both the teams fought in a tough competition. Winning the toss, SVIS elected to bat first as they had a strong batting line up. Their aim was to capitalize the last 10 overs and post a big target.
SVIS were off to a decent start after Aaditya and Rajsingh gave a solid start. Rajsingh deshmukh was particularly impressive as he scored a fantastic 62 (110 balls). Rajsingh was very patient & hardly indulged in any risky shots. His risk free 62 included 5 boundaries & also did a good amount of running between the crease. SVIS managed to score 183/7 in 45 overs giving a defendable target for Parle tilak to chase. 184 in 45 overs is not the toughest but right arm medium pacer Saksham rawat completely troubled the batsman with his reverse swing.
At one point parle tilak were looking good for a comfortable victory. In fact they were 65-70 for no loss and just 3 down for 115. They were cruising towards a comfortable victory before Saksham came in and bowled a match winning spell for SVIS. Saksham took 4/14 in 7 overs at a time when taking wickets was extremely important for SVIS. Rawat did not only contained the batsman but also kept on taking wickets which led to the collapse of Parle tilak who were all out for 151 in 44.4 overs.
All the four victims of Saksham were clean bowled by his accurate line and length & that was actually the highlight of his wonderful bowling spell. Saksham was adjudged “man of the match” as SVIS had won the match by 32 runs. Saksham’s coach Iqbal Thakur who is a veteran in cricket & has also coached the likes of Rohit Sharma in his early days must be proud of his boy’s performance.
The match between Lord Northbrook & SPIS will be one of the most remembered matches of the Junior Champions League (Boys under 12 Cricket Tournament) organised by N L Dalmia High School. Lord Northbrook team after winning the toss elected to bat first & SPIS did not even have slightest of hint on what was about to come.
Lord Northbrook went off to a blazing start and their run rate was always above 10 runs per over. They were hitting each and every ball at one point towards the ropes. It was like they had decided they are going to play aggressive cricket each & every ball. Two wonderful talents emerged from this match who showed their potential with the bat. Mohit Tanwar and Awais khan did complete annihilation of the bowlers en route their glorious centuries. Mohit tanwar scored 181 while Awais khan scored 148. Both the right handers at such a small age showed immense talent with the bat. The timing, aggression, composure was worth everyone’s surprise. Mohit tanwar’s 181 included boundaries which were smashed in all parts of the ground & hardly any bowler was spared. He was playing with so much aggression, the team’s run rate crossed 14 runs per over in no time. Awais khan was also equally destructive & shredded each & every bowler to pieces. His 148 also included a six and some perfect cricketing shots which brought everyone’s attention. The batting heroics by both these boys took their team to an undefeatable total of 340 in just 25 overs.
The insult to the injury was left as SPIS were all out for just 27 runs. It was a flat whitewash where Lord Northbrook won the match by 313 runs. The Lord Northbrook bowlers meant business from the 1st ball itself as they removed the opposition batsman one by one in quick successions. Ravi Gupta was particularly impressive & he was pick of the bowlers taking 4/25 in his 4 overs.
This one could be one of the biggest wins in terms of run margin. Sanjay Dogra must be proud of his disciples Mohit Tanwar and Awais khan playing such wonderful cricket at such a small age. Both the players are probables for Mumbai under 12. Special talent needs to be breeded & taken care of & these two boys are under rigorous training & complete professional schedule of physical work outs, cricket net practice and a proper diet plan everyday under their coach.
Considering the form & talent displayed by mohit and awais, both these players have a wonderful journey ahead & a lot of milestones to achieve in the coming days.
It was the crucial knockout match against Nirlon in DY Patil T20 Tournament at the iconic DY patil stadium itself. Mumbai police were lucky to win the toss and field first as that was what they were looking for in such a damp pitch. Their aim was to restrict the opposition to as much low score as possible.
Mumbai police bowlers did a decent job as Nirlon were 156/10 in 20 overs which was exactly the range in which Mumbai team wanted to chase. Talented opener Ankit shastry (65 runs in 40 balls) was the shining grace for Nirlon as no one was able to score big apart from him. Right arm pace bowler Santosh shinde was the pick of the bowlers picking up 3/22 in 4 overs.
Chasing 156, Mumbai lost their first three wickets a bit early but it was the middle order which finished the job for the team in just 18.3 overs. Alpesh ramjani scored a match winning 67* off just 35 balls to help his side win the match. His knock included 6 huge sixes in the big ground of DY patil and 4 fours. Alpesh went completely brutal against the bowlers as he was in a completely different zone altogether. Mumbai police won the match by 6 wickets and 9 balls to spare with swapnil hitting the winning shot & finishing the chase in style.
Alpesh who cleared the ropes with ease in his 67* was adjudged man of the match. Alpesh dedicates this knock to his father who always works hard and wishes the best for his son. It was also dedicated to him because his father was waiting since quite a time for his son to score runs.
It was the nail biting semi final at cross maidan between Asiatic Engineering and Dental wagon team. Asiatic team had a target of making 160-170 in mind if they got an opportunity to bat first. Luckily, dental wagons who won the toss elected to field first on a good batting pitch.
The Asiatic team took the full benefit of the opportunity which they wanted as they batted exceptionally well. Though the openers failed to give a solid start it was the middle order which did the talking. Armaan khan and Imran Patel took their side out of trouble with brilliant batting. Armaan scored a blazing 23 ball 35 while we got to see an unbeaten 71 from just 39 balls from right handed Imran sheikh. Both the players stitched a good partnership to save their sinking ship out of the trouble. It was pure counter attacking by both the batsman as they had the license to kill in the last 6-7 overs.
Asiatic engineering made 206/7 in 20 overs & exceeded their own target of making at least 160+ to defend their total with confidence. A team batting second to chase a 200+ target is always under pressure cooker sort of situation & same was the case with Dental wagons. Dental wagons were bundled out for 103 runs in just 18 overs giving a comfortable victory to Asiatic team.
The bowlers did a fantastic job of restricting as well as containing the batsman all the time. Armaan who batted well also contributed nicely with the ball picking up 3 wickets. His 3/9 in 4 overs was very crucial & it was a match winning bowling spell for sure. Asiatic won the semis by 103 runs & Armaan was adjudged man of the match for his all-round performance.
After a wonderful win & a great team work we are sure the Asiatic team will enter the finals with the aim of again giving their best & win the tournament in style.
After a spate of two losses in the league round, it was do or die situation for Wipro team to win this match. Anglo eastern team who won the toss took a decision which turned out to be in Wipro’s favor as they are not the best in chasing & they got a chance to bat first.
Anglo eastern was off to a good start taking two wickets in the first 6 overs and giving away just 34 runs. It appeared as if 140-150 would be a struggle for Wipro after the 1st three batsman collapsed. But the real show was left as Alim khan the skipper took the reigns on his shoulder and single handedly changed the match. Azad maidan witnessed another brilliant performance as Alim Khan scored a hundred (101 runs in 53 balls) at a strike rate of almost 200 & was pure treat to the eyes. Right handed Khan smashed 13 fours and 2 sixes en-route his super quick hundred. His two straight sixes against the pacers were also a treat to watch. It was because of the efforts put by the skipper, his team reached more than satisfactory target of 205/6 in 20 overs.
The opposition team (anglo eastern) also played well and at one point even appeared to be favorites to win the match as all the batsman were chipping in with quick cameos. However, they ended their chase at 179/7 in 20 overs & Wipro won the match by 26 runs. Skipper Alim khan also took a crucial wicket with his medium pace. Anshu singh and saurabh also bowled effectively picking up two wickets each.
The hard work and practice of the skipper finally seems to be paying off as his team won the knockout match. It was almost a one man show from ‘man of the match” Alim Khan. It was also really a sweet gesture Alim to dedicate his century to his mom.
Global hospital vs Learningmate were into their first match of the Shiraz-e-hind tournament which is going to be played with the pink ball for the 1st time in Mumbai. Winning the toss, Learning mate had plans of restricting the opposition to a low score. Global hospital was put to bat first. Learningmate were off to a fantastic start plucking out both the openers back to the pavilion for ducks. Such was the momentum it looked the team would bundle out in the first 10 overs until a savior called Amrendra singh arrived at the crease.
Amrendra singh (101 off 63 balls) faced more than 10 overs alone to score a marathon hundred for his team. Amrendra did not only bring his team out of trouble but also took his team to a winning position. His 101 was covered with 13 fours and 2 sixes and not a single bowler or a corner of the ground was spared by his practical yet belligerent batting. Global hospital reached a defendable total of 170/7 in 20 overs. Sanket parte (2/25) & Anthony (1/29) bowled well but they lacked support from the other bowlers.
The Global hospital bowlers did a great job with the ball making the opposition struggle. Learningmate ended their innings at 123/9 in 20 overs & Global hospital won the match by 47 runs. Ashish jadhav (4/20 in 4 overs) was terrific with the ball not leaking too many runs & picking up wickets at regular intervals.
Amrendra singhdeo was adjudged man of the match for his brilliant performance & he will surely be a batsman to watch out for in the next coming matches of the tournament.
Deutsche bank had a great encounter against Orange advertising into the quarter final match of the Masters cup. A high intensity match like quarter finals are always fun to watch & so was this match. Winning the toss, Deutsche bank elected to bat first.
Their openers wadekar & wagh fell early which gave the opposition team some momentum. However, Abhishek Sharma came in to change the fortunes of his side. With some support by Ponkshe (25 ball 20), Abhishek Sharma smashed a very important half century. Sharma scored a brisk 37 ball 57 which were laced with 8 fours and a big six. The best part about his batting was he perfectly mixed aggression with composure on the crease as he also rotated the strike & kept the scorecard ticking.
Apart from Sharma & Ponkshe not a single batsman crossed 20 run mark & that was one of the major reasons deutsche bank managed to score only 132/8 in 20 overs. It was simply wonderful to see Mahesh take 5/24 in his 4 overs. He was the lone warrior in the battle against deutsche & was very effective with the ball. Chasing 133, it was the same case for Orange advertising too as their openers failed to give a good start.
The only part where they were not same in terms of batting was they did not had someone like Sharma in their line-up who could chip in with the bat as 10 out of 11 batsman failed to cross the 20 run mark. Orange team were all out for 117 in 18 overs. Even if they would have played till the end they could have managed to win but it was also some good bowling by the Deutsche team. Eric Bacha (2/13 in 4 overs) & Jigar parikh (2/20 in 4 overs) were fantastic with the ball. Anil Julka picked up 3 wickets & broke partnerships. The right arm medium pacer took crucial breakthroughs which helped his side to win the game. He was the pick of the bowlers & was adjudged man of the match for his effective bowling.
Deutsche team won the quarter finals & will certainly be high on motivation & spirits to give their best in the semis & eventually reach finals to lift the Masters Trophy cup.
