Tushar Singh's patient 106 not out off 362 balls and a 188-ball 120 by Nutan Goel helped Al Barkaat MMI (Kurla) beat Don Bosco (Matunga) by virtue of a first innings lead to win their third consecutive MSSA-organised U-16 Harris Shield cricket title at the Brabourne Stadium on Wednesday.
Resuming on 130-2, overnight batsman and opener Tushar (overnight 44) continued from where he left on Day Two, playing slow, defensive cricket while Nutan (overnight 13) found gaps and attacked from the other end as Al Barkaat eased to 222-2 at lunch in reply to Don Bosco's 289 all out. With 68 required and eight wickets in hand, the duo started attacking Don Bosco bowlers, smashing boundaries in almost every over in the first hour of play after lunch.
