Parsee Narrowly Edge Out SPG Despite Gode and Mairaj Heroics

Parsee Gymkhana narrowly edged out Shivaji Park Gymkhana in the first round of the Invitational Police Shield. After electing to field, SPG bowled out Parsee to a modest 200 in 54 overs. Sachin Yadav high scored with 49 as the middle order collapsed. Yash Dicholkar contributed crucial 45 runs down the order to push the total. An exceptional display of spin bowling saw Mairaj Khan claim 5 wickets, giving away 67 runs in the process. Sumit Markali supported him by picking up 3 wickets. 

With a chaseable target in bounds, SPG’s star batsman Sahil Gode scored an emphatic 87 and took the game as deep as possible. Unfortunately, he ran out of partners as SPG was bowled out for 190, 10 runs short than Parsee’s total. Mumbai Ranji Speedster SIddharth Raut claimed 4 wickets as Omkar Mandrekar took 3 SPG wickets.
