Five schools participated in this thrilling event. Our first match was against Oshwal Academy where we won the toss and decided to field. They made a target of 28 runs in 6 overs, which we made it, in 2.2 overs. The second match was against MSB, which we batted first and the boys made a very good target of
68 runs in 6 overs. The 3rd match was against Kivukoni, which they batted first and set a target of 20 runs in 5 overs. We chase the target and thank God, it took only 2 overs to beat it. The fourth and last
match was against the host which happens that they won all their three games too. A very
tensed and suspense game from the start. They made 37 runs in 5 overs. Our boys chased the
target and managed to level the score at 4.5 overs. They needed 1 run in the last over to win
the match, which they managed. Chaos arose from the Jaffery official side complaining that
there was a wicket in the last run but according to the umpire, he over rule the appeal and we
were declared the winners of the day. The boys played extremely well throughout the
tournament. We received the shield, certificates and medals for 1st place.
The team consisted of: SATHVIK VISHWANATHA (CAPT), VIDYUTH VIJESH, HARSH
HIRANI, HARSH PATEL, DHEER AGRAVAT, DHRUV HARESH, TAVISH KAKKAR, PARTH
VEKARIYA, NAKSH DUDHUIA & JASVIR SINGH.
The tournament ended at 5.30pm, way beyond the expected time at 3pm due to the weather.
While dropping the students back, we had a traffic issue at the bridge where they were stuck
for almost an hour. The last boy to reach home was almost 8pm. Good thing I kept on
communicating with parents throughout the period till everyone was safe at home.
I explained the situation to Abdul and thank God he was very supportive and took care of the
situation accordingly.
