Inspired by their senior team, Al Barkaat MMI (Kurla), who clinched under-16 Harris Shield title by beating Dos Bosco (Matunga) in the final on Wednesday, the junior Kurla outfit started off well by posting 257 against the same opponents on Day One of the two-day U-14 Giles Shield Super League encounter at Cross Maidan on Thursday.

Despite losing opener Aaryan Bhapana (7) with the team's total on 15 in the eighth over, skipper Yasin Shaikh and Sunny Singh shouldered responsibility to post half-centuries.
