Mumbai Customs SC lift the prestigious B Div Times Cricket Shield’18
Played at the Western Railway Ground, it was the all important finals between two teams who have played consistently well throughout the tournament. Mafatlal CC after electing to bat first were all out for 138 with opener Harshad Khadiwale showing his experience with a polished 53.
Pushkaraj Chavan came up with a crucial spell at a time when team needed a bowler to fire bagging 6 wkts for just 47 runs in 15 overs. Pushkaraj took wickets at regular intervals which eventually led to Mafatlal’s batting collapse.
Mumbai Customs were 292/3 in 68 overs thanks to their in-form opener Swapnil Pradhan who scored a brilliant 144*off 183 balls (20 fours) continuing his consistency with the bat. Swapnil now has 617 runs in 7 innings this year in Times Shield’18 while Akash Parkar who came at no.5 scored 85* off 103 balls (11 forus, 3 sixes) as Mumbai Customs were way past the 1st innings lead winning the ultimate finale on 1st innings lead.
