Mumbai-s wonder kid Pranav Dhanawade 16, who scored a world record 1009 in an inter-school match in January, registered a half-century on his Dr HD Kanga Cricket League debut yesterday.

Dhanawade-s coach Mobin Shaikh told mid-day: “Playing in the lower division of the Kanga League for starters will be good for his cricket.” Apart from Dhanawade-s knock, Deepak Rumde-s unbeaten 44 helped Achievers SC to declare their first innings at 183 for seven. For Young Muslim SC, pacer Gopinath Naikar claimed four for 74. In reply, Young Muslim SC scored 62 for four.


KSA bowled out for 49
In the -A- division, former champions Karnataka Sports Association were bundled out for a mere 49 in 31.5 overs by Sind Sports Club. Sind-s pacers Bhargav Mehta 4-12 and Arvind Patel 2-10 made full use of the damp conditions to cause havoc. Shivam Dube top-scored for Karnataka SA with 14. In reply, Sind scored 56 for seven with Kirtiraj Wadekar scoring 25. Akshay Girap and pacer Gaurav Bendre claimed four and two wickets respectively for Karnataka.

Former champs draw
Two former champions — Dadar Union Sporting Club 138 all out and National Cricket Club 78-3 clashed in a drawn game at Cross Maidan. Sairaj Patil scored 43 and claimed four wickets for Dadar Union while National-s pacer Atish Gawand claimed five for 46. The Shivaji Park Gymkhana SPG vs Parsee Gymkhana -A- division game at Shivaji Park witnessed a controversy concerning the SG Test ball provided by Mumbai Cricket Association MCA.

Controversy over ball
In the second over of the match, SPG captain Vaidik Murkar informed the umpires that the ball used by Parsee Gym was not the one provided by MCA and that it did not have the MCA and Kanga League logo. But the umpires allowed the game to go on. Murkar told mid-day after the game that the ball used by Parsee Gym swung more and the shine lasted longer than his team-s ball.

However, Parsee Gymkhana captain Aditya Tare maintained that the ball was supplied to them by the MCA.
Batting first, Shivaji Park Gymkhana declared after losing seven wickets for 201. Shams Mulani and Pranav Menon scored 61 and unbeaten 51 respectively for SPG. Parsee Gymkhana ended the game with 41 for one.

Harmeet, Akhil shine
Mumbai-s left-arm spinner Harmeet Singh 5-39 and occasional off-spinner Akhil Herwadkar-s 4-15 helped Payyade Sports Club win on the first innings against Fort Vijay. Rahul Lad scored 34 out of Fort Vijay-s score of 87. Payyade SC scored 123-3 through Omkar Khanvilkar-s 48 and Herwadkar-s 45.

Kocharekar -tricks
Rajasthan SC-s medium pacer Girish Kocharekar 4 for 7 registered the first hat-trick of the season against Kandivali CA at Shivaji Park. Kandivali CA were bowled out for 77 to which Rajasthan replied by scoring 78 for four.
