However, things took a complete U-turn after Anjuman Islam boys displayed a brave performance with the ball.

Moreover Gaud never allowed a single batsman to settle & he consistently broke partnerships. Ajit Gaud also got able support from Anzar Mirza who also picked up three wickets in the first innings & 2 in the second.

Trailing 71, St. Mary bowled well at the start removing the top order batsman & snapping up early wickets but it was some great late show from and Prashant Mishra who turned out to be the saviors in distress for their team scoring 72 and 43 respectively to lead their team to 231. Anjuman Islam had an upper hand with a lead of 160 runs & the confidence was quite evident looking at their body language on the field. St. Mary batsman again broke down in the 2nd innings against the tight bowling attack of Anjuman Islam boys managing just 121 runs & losing the match by an innings and 39 runs. Ajit Gaud’s magical form continued even in the second innings where he took another 3 wickets to complete his tally of 8 wickets in the match.
