Thanks to fine bowling by Mavit Patel (3 for 9) Vir Khimji (3 for 48) and Ishan Mulchandani (3 for 45), Dhirubhai Ambani routed IES Secondary (Charkop) by nine wickets to enter the quarterfinals of the B.Kichadia-Khar Gymkhana Suburban schools cricket tournament, which got off at various venues over this weekend.Batting first, the Charkop boys could hardly counter the Dhirubhai Ambani attack – both pace and spin- and were bundled them out for 113, which the Dhirubhai batsmen Vir Khimji (n.o. 41), Ishan Sanghvi (n.o. 33) made light of their chase and were home with plenty to spare.
So also the Bandra outfit, IES English, who thrashed Chhatrabhuj Narsee by nine wickets. After dismissed them for 44, they reached the target for the loss of one wicket only.
