Swami Vivekananda get the better of Rizvi Springfield
Swami Vivekanada International School took on Rizvi Springfield High School in the Harris Shield Elite Division match on 19th Jan. Winning the toss and electing to bat first, Swami Vivekanada school could only manage to score 172 in 61.4 overs, with Manan Zatakia (42 runs off 85 balls) being the highest scorer. Slow left arm bowler Nabeel Aziz of Rizvi created magic by picking up a fifer and rattled the Swami Vivekananda batting line-up.
In response, Swami Vivekananda bowlers came in hard at Rizvi and dismissed them for 170, taking a small but useful lead of 2 runs. Shoaib Siddique scored a half century but did not receive much support from other batsmen. Swami Vivekananda skipper Hem Patel picked up a five wicket haul and put his team in a strong position.
