Swami Vivekanand (Kandivli) clinch maiden Harris Shield title
In the prize distribution ceremony graced by former India captain Dilip Vengsarkar and Vice-Admiral Krishna Swaminathan, Chief of Staff, Western Naval Command, Prasoon was handed the player of the final award.
Swami Vivekanand International School (SVIS), Kandivli, tasted their first Harris Shield triumph in thrilling fashion, beating Al-Barkaat MMI English School by two runs on the last day of their three-day final at Bombay Gymkhana on Thursday.
Starting the day requiring 169 in 40 overs, Al-Barkaat brought the equation down to six in the last over. In a brilliant show of nerve and skill, off-spinner Prasoon Singh (4/52) defended it by picking up two wickets and ensuring a dot off the final ball with three needed. Al-Barkaat finished their second innings on 166/9 as Swayam Sail too picked up 4/58.
It was Swami Vivekanand's first Harris Shield triumph and it incidentally came on the day the school marked its 25th year. The winning squad formed a big part of the annual day celebrations later in the evening. “Our Gorai school has won titles in the past but for our Kandivli school to win this is a great achievement, especially given the limited infrastructure there,” Yogesh Patel, founder of the SVIS Group, said.
Coached by Albert Fernandes, the team kept its composure till the last ball against a mighty side like Al-Barkaat. “It was a close finish, but we had the belief going into that last over. The key was to take away the fear from the boys and make sure they play their natural game even in that situation,” Fernandes said.
In the prize distribution ceremony graced by former India captain Dilip Vengsarkar and Vice-Admiral Krishna Swaminathan, Chief of Staff, Western Naval Command, Prasoon was handed the player of the final award. Other awardees were Raza Mirza (best batter, Parle Tilak), Saad Khan (best bowler, Al Barkaat) and Agasthya Bangera (best all-rounder, IES New English).
