Symbiosis batting
Overs 1-10
Rohit Kamble goes for 1
Opting to bat first, Symbiosis had a bad start as its star batsman Rohit Kamble was bowled by medium pacer Atharva Choudhari.
Jai Hind High School was on top as bowlers Kamble and Shardul Sahastrabudhe were bowling a tight length. Sahastrabudhe the sent back Sushrut Sawant to leave Symbiosis 9 for 2 at the end of four overs.
Arya Panse released the pressure with hitting three back to back boundaries.
Panse and Ved Kulkarni started rotating the strike and managed to score 46 runs in first ten overs.
Overs 11-20
Symbiosis steadies the ship
Kulkarni fell in the next over as tried to play a crossbatted shot against off spinner Ganesh Kalel. Arnav Daithankar comes in and runs start to flow for Symbiosis. Jai Hind fielders who were charged up in the first 10 overs, lose their spark as there are misfields and it allows Daithankar and Panse to settle.
Panse completed his 50 in the 16th over.
Overs 21-30
Daithankar and Panse surge
With the run rate still under six per over (5.24), Daithankar started taking on the bowlers and completed his half century in the 25th over, hitting two boundaries off Atharva Choudhari.
The run rate per over excels to 6.93 with 17 runs coming in the 28th over bowled by Atharva Pavghan.

Century for Panse; Daithankar falls

Panse also got out in 33rd over but there was no rescue for Jai Hind bowlers as runs kept coming from one end.

Wickets tumble

Coaches’s corner
Nitin Gunjal, Symbiosis High School ‘B’
“The team should have bowled them out (Jai Hind High School) and we should have got at least a 100-run lead, but the boys relaxed in the final 10 overs. I expect our top order to get more runs today.”
Chetan Chauhan, Jai Hind High School
“The team will surely bounce back. We made a few mistakes, but we pulled back well in last 10 overs and we will be performing better today.”
