Modern English High School’s (Chembur) dream run in the MSSA Harris Shield cricket tournament almost culminated with a title triumph before they found themselves at the wrong end of the result against former champions Anjuman-I-Islam Allana English (Fort).
Three-day final ends in tie
The concluding day of the three-day final at Brabourne Stadium saw the match ending in a tie, but moments later, MSSA Cricket Secretary Nadim Memon declared Anjuman as the winners. “Along with the on-field umpires [Rupesh Khadge and Ravindra Kolape], I spoke to the Mumbai Cricket Association Umpiring Committee and they confirmed that as the match has ended in a tie, Anjuman should be declared winners on the basis of their first innings lead,” Memon told mid-day.
Modern English however, claim that tournament’s regulations specify that the winner of a tie is decided on the basis of quotient.
