SB CITY College Cricket Academy’s Team A won the VCA U-19 Inter-Academy One-Day Tournament on Sunday. In the final, played at the VCA’s Kalamna ground, SB City boys defeated SGR Cricket Academy’s Team A by 107 runs. SB City boys made a mammoth 326-9 in 50 overs with opener Randitya Singh stroking a fine 102 off 118 balls and Yash Pawar making 64. The duo shared a 132-run partnership for the second wicket. SGR boys lacked conviction in their chase after losing their first four wickets for 52 runs. A 52-run partnership for the fifth wicket between Mohd Faiz (49) and Aryan Singh (31) briefly raised SGR’s hopes but fall of wickets at regular intervals sealed their fate.
