MThe much awaited tournament of the year (ECB) kick started today and MS Dhoni Cricket Academy U15 Team had their 1st match against Sharjah Cricket Academy.
Without surprise, our boys outshined and played nothing less than champions. The 1st win of the 1st match is under our belt and we are sure there are many more to follow.
Opponents won the toss and elected to bat. Starting with Eshan and Mayank, both had a tight control. The 1st break through was given by Mayank (Rashid khan of MSDCA ). Then came out our trio spinners (shubh, Maroof & Shreyash). All bowled brilliantly but the pick of the bowler was Shubh Mehta for his 3 wkts and giving away just 10 runs in 4 overs. Rachit gave a helping hand to the team as well.
Chasing 85 in 20 overs, we thought it won’t be that easy as the pitch was turning. But again our 2 openers proved us wrong. If you have strong base and technique, nothing is difficult. We chased 85 in 15 overs without losing a wkt. Maroof (39 runs*) and Eshan (31 runs*) played brilliantly and gave us the 1st victory.
The hard work and dedication always pays off. Coaches and lil champs are giving in their best. All the very best for the future games.
Stay tuned for all ECB updates.
