Played at the Sachin Tendulkar Gymkhana, U16 Bandra and U16 Vasai team took on each other with Bandra skipper winning the toss and electing to bat first on a track which looked good for the batsman.
Their decision to bat first did seem to be accurate with opener Al Saad and Aryan More giving a solid 162run stand for the 2nd wicket which set the positive momemtum. Al-saad opening the innings scored a solid 69 off 180balls while skipper Aryan More led from the front top scoring the innings with a brisk 88 off 182balls laced with 14fours. Saad Shaikh who came at no.4 also looked really solid as he scored a timely 64 off mere 84balls (9fours). It was on the back of three solid fifties that Bandra team reached a total of 301/6 in 91overs.
SRT XI on the other hand were all out for 235/10 runs with Prateek Gond at no.7 top scoring with 67*off 169balls. Prateek played a fighting knock while the rest of the batsman struggled to make much of an impact. All-rounder Farhaan Shaikh who is also a wily left arm spinner bowled a match winning spell of 5/54 in 21overs with 7maidens. It was on the back of his disciplined and consistent bowling that U16 Bandra team won the match with Aryan, Saad, Al-saad and Farhan leading from the front.
