Oxford registers 2018’s Highest Giles Shield Total as Aaradhya Mayekar (180) and Mandar Gujar (111) tear apart bowlers

Played between Don Bosco School and Oxford Public School Kandivali at the Matunga Gymkhana, Don Bosco electing to bowl first were hardly aware about the tsunami they were going to face from the Oxford Batsman.

Oxford Public High School scored a record 557/8dec in 41.3 overs where in openers Aradhya and Mandar simply took on the bowlers with absolute ease and domination. Both the openers not only stitched a 171 run stand but also smashed individual centuries where in Mandar scored 111 off mere 56 balls (20 fours) while Aaradhya Mayekar went on to score a big innings of 180 coming in mere 97 deliveries (26 fours) while the rest of the batsman chipped in with quick knocks down the order to register this year’s highest Giles Shield Total so far.

Don Bosco in reply were all out for 67 runs thanks to their off spinner Aditya Puliparambil who came up with a terrific bowling of 7 wkts for mere 18 runs. Aditya castled the batsman not once but at regular occasions as Oxford Public School won the match by a record margin of 490 runs.
