Dharavi Centre electing to field troubled the Matunga batsmen and Shlok did most of the damage to bundle out the opposition for a paltry 102 runs in 29.4 overs in the first innings. Ved Tendulkar was the lone batsman who managed to score 37 runs. Shlok finished with impressive figures (9.4-5-25-8).
