Dawood’s fiery spell
However, Dawood’s spell was the game-changer. His spell of 7-11 included the first hat-trick of the season. Former Mumbai wicket-keeper and Green Bombay’s coach Zulfiqar Parkar was delighted with the performance of his wards. “These boys have been practising very hard and I am looking forward to winning other matches as well,” Parkar said.
Gopi Birla’s big win
In another match held at Oval Maidan, Walkeshwar’s Gopi Birla Memoral High School defeated Dadar’s Shardasharam Vidya Mandir (Marathi) by 233 runs. Grabbing the advantage of batting first, Gopi Birla posted 288 on the board with K Kadakia and Dhairya Patel scoring 52 and 30 respectively. However, Nisarg Patel (3-10) helped bowl out Shardashram Vidya Mandir for only 51. In a low-scoring match, Shardashram Vidya Mandir (English) school beat Campion School (27 all out) by seven wickets.
