Japjeet randhawa’s century goes in vain; Sind Sports Club win by 2 wickets in Young Comrade Shield

By Juili Ballal

Sind Sports Club took on Payyade Sports Club on January 7 and 8 during the Young Comrade Shield. Payyade Sports Club won the toss and elected to bat.

Riding on Japjeet Randhawa’s brilliant century, Payyade Sports Club posted 218 in 47.5 overs. Randhawa (108) was the lone warrior in the fight and failed to find able allies. He played some stunning shots in his innings and ran well between the wickets. On the other hand, Sind Sports Club’s Vikas Singh and Aditya Dhumal were the wreckers-in-chief with the ball. The duo scalped four wickets apiece.

In reply, Sind Sports Club overhauled the target in 53.1 overs and won the match by two wickets. Satyalaksh Jain led the run chase from the front with a scintillating 70. Atharva Chavan (42 not out) and Awais Khan (35) were the other major contributors with the bat for Sind Sports Club. On the other hand, Payyade Sports Club’s Deepak Shetty and Sagar Mishra were the most successful bowlers, with three scalps each.
