Opener Shrideep Mangela steers Karnatak Sporting Association to a win in Police Shield Tournament’21

New Hind Sporting Club after being put to bat first posted a total of 233/9 in 45 overs. A total not so threatening but not to be taken lightly either!  Opener Karan Shah blasted his way though with a quick 24 ball 40 while Kushal Dawane at no.4 top scored with 51 runs in an innings where most of the batters got starts but were unable to convert it into something big. From the bowlers, the experienced left arm spinner Vighnesh Solanki with 3/32 in 8 overs was the pick of the lot from Karnatak S.A.

Chasing 234, the openers namely Karan Vasodhia and Shrideep Mangela gave a perfect platform for the chase putting on 109 runs in 17 overs. Karan was dismissed on 47 while Shrideep continued to anchor the chase with a sublime knock of 100 runs in 99 balls (10 fours , 2 sixes). Shrideep who has been scoring well consistently since many seasons displayed a calm head even though wickets were tumbling from the other end.
