Parth Vithlani smashes a match winning 66 while Bhavin & Meet scalp 3wkts each in the Mumbai Junior Shield ‘18

Played at the Western Railways, Cross Maidan, it was the all important match between Union Cricket Academy and New Amrit CC where in Union CA won the toss and elected to bowl first with an aim of restricting Amrit CC boys to a low total.

Their decision to bowl first was quite spot on as they bundled out New Amrit CC to just 121runs all out in 42.5 overs. Opener Aarya Satpute top scored with a gritty 48 as the rest of the batsman struggled to convert their starts. Spin duo of Bhavin Darji(SLA) and Meet Samani(SLA) took 6wkts between themselves to trouble the batsman to the hilt. Bhavin Darji who took 3/22 was quite impressive with the ball while Meet with 3/19 was also equally spot on being the pick of the bowlers for Union CA.

Chasing 122, Union Cricket Academy chased down the score with ease winning the match by 6wkts. Even though they did got some early jitters with their openers falling out quickly but Parth Vithlani who came in at no.3 smashed a superlative 66 off 51balls smashing 7fours and 4sixes to finish the chase in style. It was a match winning knock by Parth which included some really good shots.

Union CA won the match in a commanding manner on the back of great teamwork where in the bowlers did the job beautifully well while Parth’s 66 did the job while chasing.
