IES New English School dominates Omkar International in Harris Shield clash

IES New English School delivered a strong all-round performance to claim a commanding 188-run win over Omkar International in the Harris Shield tournament.

Omkar International elected to field, but the decision backfired once IES took charge with the bat. The innings was shaped by two standout knocks. Shreyash Khilare held the innings together with an unbeaten 94*, playing with control and intent right through. Right beside him, Maanveer Jain kept the pressure on the bowlers with a well-made 69. Their partnership lifted IES New English School to a solid 270 in 45 overs.

The chase never really took off for Omkar International. IES bowlers attacked early, stayed disciplined, and never let the opposition settle. Aarav Zagde and Darshan Rathod picked up three wickets each, using the conditions smartly. Prain Dubey joined the effort with two wickets of his own, sealing the collapse and bowling out Omkar International for 82.

Here’s the thing, performances this polished usually reflect strong work behind the scenes. The players train at Sanjeevani Cricket Academy under head coach Satish Samant, with Coach Abhishek Angane guiding them closely as well. The discipline in their batting and the clarity in their bowling plans showed exactly that.

What this really means is that IES New English School not only won by a huge margin, they showed the kind of maturity and structure you expect from a well-coached unit. With players like Shreyash, Maanveer, Aarav, Darshan, and Pravin stepping up, and with Coach Satish Samant guiding them, the team looks set for a strong run in the tournament.
