Despite a fine bowling performance by Maharashtra's Kashinath Kadkikar
(7 for 64), Mumbai crushed the home team by nine wickets in the West
Zone under-22 league match at the Bhosala Military School Ground in
Nashik on Friday.
Opting to bat on the opening day, Mumbai put up a challenging total of
353 even as Kadhikar took wickets at regular intervals. The innings
was propped up by two fine contributions from the Mumbai skipper HS
Shinde (78) and K More (70). In response Maharashtra were bundled out
for 197 in 69.3 overs. Maharashtra skipper and opener DS Jadhav with
57 was the top scorer. RV Pawar (3 for 55) and More (4 for 66) ripped
through the hosts line up.
Having conceded a lead of 156, Maharashtra followed on and fumbled
again with their batting. Pawar (5 for 62) once again ran through the
opposition to leave them with just nine runs ahead at 165. Mumabi hit
the required ten runs in 1.5 overs, losing opener N Shivalkar (0) off
the third ball of the innings. Pawar returned figures of eight for 117
in the match.
