Kasturi Shah’s sensational century anchors innings
After being put into bat, St Columba School recovered quickly after a couple of early wickets as a 119-run partnership between opener Kasturi Shah and Durva Palav steadied the ship before the latter was dismissed for 28. However, Kasturi Shah continued the onslaught and remained unbeaten at the end, scoring a prolific century after playing for the entirety of the innings.
Kasturi Shah put on a marauding masterclass as she went on to smash 177 runs off just 77 balls — an innings that saw her strike 33 boundaries. As a result, St Columba School amassed a staggering 258 runs at the end of their stipulated 20 overs.
Disciplined bowling seals dominant victory
Vasant Vihar High School's top order collapsed as they were eventually bundled out for 93 runs, despite a valiant cameo from Risha Vaidya (30 n.o). The bowling pair of Anushka Ghuge and Tanvi Surve showcased clinical accuracy and immaculate discipline as they scalped 4 and 3 wickets respectively, guiding St Columba School to a massive 165-run victory.
