Coach’s corner

Vishal Biramane, Angel High School

Players need to be consistent with their performance. Batting was ok, but in bowling and fielding we made mistakes. We should have bowled them out early.

Aniket Taware, Vibgyor High School

We had a good start bowling, but then our captain set an attacking field and it did not work in our favour. We will be focusing on overall improvement.
