Their decision to field first did not turn out to be the best as Fatima boys scored a mammoth 365/2 in 45 overs. Openers Sandeep Palav and Dev gave a solid start while Sandeep continued the onslaught and went on to score one of the most electrifying tons of 2017 in Mumbai local cricket. Right handed Sandeep scored 206 off mere 110 balls (15fours) making the mockery of the opposition bowlers as he literally toyed with the bowlers. Sandeep’s knock was a mixture of grace and aggression coupled with excellent running between the wickets. What’s more he also stitched a great partnership of 288 runs with Rupesh Gupta who also scored a fabulous century scoring 115 off just 95balls (10fours). It was their brutal dominance with the bat which helped them post an excellent total on the board.

  Shaun Gomes who bowled a stunning spell of 7/44

In reply, Fatima bowlers bundled out Sacred Heart school for just 90runs where in hardly any batsman managed to make any impact. Right arm medium pacer Shaun Gomes led the bowling attack with excellent line and length as he went on to take 7/44 in 9 overs which inflicted the maximum damage. Shaun bowled a match winning bowling spell as his team won the match by a big margin of 275runs. It was a day dominated by Fatima High School and especially the batting of Sandeep which caught everyone’s attention along with Shaun and Rupesh. Cricketgraph congratulates the young talented kids while wishes both the teams luck for their upcoming matches.
