Openers Karan Shah (96) and experienced Parikshit Valsangkar (67) seal a win for New Hind CC in Police Shield ‘18
Victory Cricket Club batting first at Dadkar Maidan managed to reach a respectable total of 201 thanks to their opener Jiniv Joshi who scored a solid 89 off 105 balls or else the team could have collapsed for a low total with medium pacer John Abraham leading with the ball taking 4/41 in 15 overs.
Chasing 202, New Hind SC openers made it a cakewalk as they thrashed the bowlers with a match winning 165 run stand for the 1st wicket. Left-handed Karan Shah fell just 4 short of a very deserving ton smashing 96 runs in mere 55 balls (10 fours, 5 sixes) and Parikshit scoring a 44 ball 67 (5 fours , 4 sixes). Both the openers took less than 20 overs to cross 160 runs and they were looking all set to finish the game in style.
New Hind SC eventually won the match by 8 wkts and all credit to their openers for making the chase so entertaining smashing 15 fours and 9 sixes in their opening stand.
