Runner Up Team

U16 Worli Team who have really played well throughout the tournament suffered a batting collapse in the finals with only their 3 batsman namely- Opener Tanmay (33), Parth Pathak (23) and Ayush Zimare trying to make a difference. Ayush Zimare who came at no.5 fought like a lone warrior leading from the front with a stoic 87 off 183balls. Ayush led from the front in both the departments but he lacked support from the other end as his team lost the match on 1st innings by 23runs. Left-arm spinner Aman Tiwari and Aaron Rodrigues were excellent with the ball bagging 3wkts each while the rest of the bowlers also bowled well.
