Payyade openers Musheer Khan and Hersh Tank impress with half centuries in Talim Shield’21

Payyade SC after being put to bat first at Cross Maidan in Mumbai (Karnatak Sporting Association Ground) amassed a huge total of 222/4 in 20 overs. Courtesy their openers Musheer Khan and Hersh Tank who clobbered bowlers all over the park with a 136 run opening stand in mere 76 deliveries. Young Musheer looked supremely confident in his knock of 76 off 41 balls (11 fours, 2 sixes) while Hersh Tank scored a fluent 63 off 42 balls smashing 7 fours and 2 sixes.

Quick cameos at the middle order by Sagar Mishra (30* off 13 balls) and skipper Prasad Pawar (42 off 15 balls) ensured a perfect finishing touch in the death overs as Payyade reached in a commanding position with 222 runs on the board.

Karnatak Sporting Association in reply could only muster 134/9 in 20 overs with skipper Eknath Kerkar being the only shining grace with a fine innings of 50 runs off 28 balls.  Payyade bowlers were bang on restricting the opposition to a low total.
