Anjuman-I-Islam's (Fort) plan to unsettle Shardashram Vidyamandir (Dadar) at the outset in the semi-final of the U-14 Giles Shield may have backfired, as they lost the toss and were made to field. However, thanks to a spirited effort from their bowlers, they managed to succeed in Plan B and won by virtue of the first innings lead.

"We wanted to bat first but thanks to our bowlers they gave us a good start by bowling Shardashram out for just 105 runs" said Khizar Daffedar skipper of Anjuman.

Mehboob Farooqui's lone effort of 111 of 200 deliveries helped Anjuman post a total of 169 on the second day.
Shardashram's Sairaj Sangle's brilliant 134 in the second innings helped them post a total of 237 in 52 overs before they declared prior to lunch on the third day.

Anjuman had to just stay at the crease on the third day and not loose any wicket and they did just that as of which they move to the final after four years.
