Tushar Singh (106) & Nutan Goel (120) steer Al-Barkat to their 3rd Consecutive Harris Shield Title

Into the all important finals of the iconic Brabourne Stadium, Don Bosco Team after being put to bat first posted a total of 289/10 in 94.2 overs. Despite some early setbacks, it was Sahil Jadhav at no.4 who did the rescue act with a polished knock of 101 runs in 212 balls (12 fours). The rest of the batsman batted around Sahil as Don Bosco reached a somewhat respectable total. From the bowlers, Mayur Devrukhar with 4/57 & Anurag Singh with 3/77 were the pick of the lot.

Chasing 290 in such a prestigious finale game is definitely a pressure task but Al-Barkaat boys made it look quite easy thanks to the 186 run stand for the 4^th wicket between opener Tushar Singh and Nutan Goel. Tushar displayed some rock solid batting facing as many as 362 balls for his 106* while Nutan Goel who came at no.4 scored a superb 120 0ff 188 balls laced with 18 boundaries.
