The CBFS juniors' Under-17 tournament had commenced at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium after the conclusion of Under-12 and Under-14 finals with Desert Cub scoring a 32-run win over Kings IJC. It was Kings IJC that won the toss and elected to field. Desert Cubs lost opener Rakesh Murari for 8 runs but opener Aryan Chopra (13) and Hriday Savnani (11) kept the score board moving. This was followed by Delen Sean Jayanethi hitting 25 runs and Akshat Rai top scoring with 32 runs to ensure a total of 124 for 7.


However, Kings IJC’s batsmen were not able to rise to the challenge. Uddish Suri top scored with 37 runs while Bazil Asim scored 21 and Rachit Ghosh hit 18 runs. Aradhya Sharma led the bowling attack with two wickets for 16 runs and restricted Kings IJC to 92 for 6.

 In another game, Tellicherry Cricket Academy registered an impressive 63 runs victory over Maxtalent mainly due to the good score they posted after opting to bat. Openers Aryan Praveen (30) and Aadhi Narayan Kurup (18) set the base for a good total through a 66 runs partnership. Their wicketkeeper batsman Saleh Amin hit an unbeaten 29 while Vedhas Khot chipped in what a timely 19 runs for a total of 149 for 5.


Maxtalent began on a bad note losing opener Sanjit Ram for a duck and their skipper and one-drop batsman Cleon Sequeria for another duck. Both wickets were taken by Nimit Karamchandani. Vedhas Khot and Gabriel Varughese too bagged two wickets each to bowl out Maxtalent for 86 in 19.3 overs.

 The first match-winning batting performance in the Under-17 category was witnessed during the Sharjah Cricket Academy-Desert Cubs B match. Aryan Saxena stole the thunder through a spectacular knock of 119 runs. Opening the innings with Aayan Afzal Khan, Aryan put on a 181 runs partnership in 18.4 overs. Aayan Afzal Khan scored 69 off 53 balls with six boundaries and a six. Harsh Desai, through an unbeaten 14, ensured Sharjah Cricket Academy crosses the 200 run mark.

 Desert B kept losing wickets regularly from the start. Except for Sarang Anilkumar’s unbeaten 45 off 44 balls with six boundaries none of his other teammates reached double figures. Desert B thus got restricted to 101 for 8 in 20 overs.

The Maxtalent-BE Spartans saw a fine exhibition of bowling from Yayin Kiran Rai. Opting to bat first, Maxtalent could muster only 88 for 9 due to Yayin Kiran Rai’s spell of 4 for 11. Only two of Maxtalent’s batsmen Armaan Joshi (22) and skipper Cleon Sequeria (18) reached double figures.


BE Spartans chased the target without any pressure. Opener Shrey Sethi hit an unbeaten 20 while skipper Faisur Rahman scored 57 runs. His knock off 32 balls had 10 boundaries and Be Spartans reached the target in 9.3 overs.
