Mumbai: Anjuman-I-Islam Allana English School registered a resounding 10-wicket victory over Tarapur Vidya Mandir (Palghar) in a league match of the Mumbai Indians Junior Under-16 Boys Inter School Cricket Tournament on Friday.
After opting to bat first, Tarapur Vidya Mandir lost wickets at an alarming rate and struggled to gain momentum. None of their batters crossed the 20-run mark and as a result, they were bundled out for 101 runs. Anjuman-I-Islam Allana English School’s Mohd Salman Khan tore through the batting, picking wickets at crucial junctures and ended the match with figures of 5 for 22.
Chasing a modest target of 102, openers Shahid Khan and Laxmanprasad Vishwakarma forged an unbeaten 102-run opening stand, with the former scoring an artistically articulated half-century to propel Anjuman-I-Islam Allana English School to a scintillating 10-wicket victory.
