Vidarbha Under-19 batsman Mohd Faiz cracked a daddy hundred as he helped his side India C register a 15-run win over India F in the BCCI organised Challenger Trophy Men’s Under-19 One-Day Limited Overs (2021-22) tournament at Gujarat College Cricket Ground ‘A’ in Ahmedabad on Thursday.

The left-handed opener smashed 145 runs as India C posted 313 for six in 50 overs.

Asked to bat first, India C got off to a fluent start as openers Faiz and Dharmver Saini put up 60 runs for the opening wicket. It was Faiz who was more dangerous as he scored bulk of runs. His 134-ball knock had 17 boundaries and three huge sixes.

Faiz was unconquerable and the only way to see his back was a run out in the 44th over.

But before his departure, Faiz and captain Aneeshwar Gautam (82*) added 80 runs for the fourth wicket as they crossed 300-run mark. B Sachin was the other notable scorer with 38 runs.

For India F, Aum Kanabar took two wickets.

India F, too, batted well and were on course but lost the steam in the end managing only 298 from 50 overs despite having six wickets intact.

Ansh Gosavi hit 108 from 101 balls while Arshin Kulkarni scored 63.

Dinesh Bana (52*) and Uday Saharan (53*) kept their hopes alive but were unable to achieve the target.

For India C, Rohan S took two wickets.
