St Sebastian High School’s (Chembur) left-handed No. 3 batsman Neev Rana, 15, notched up his maiden century against IES Modern English School (Dadar). Neev scored an unbeaten 139, the feature of their mammoth 457-run victory in a second-round match of the MSSA Harris Shield inter-school cricket tournament at the New Era ground, Azad Maidan, on Wednesday.


Neev feasted on the opposition’s bowling attack and smashed 24 fours to record his highest score in  the Harris Shield and ensured St Sebastian reach a massive total of 503, including 156 penalty runs (for slow over-rate), for five wickets in 39 overs.

Neev was associated in two sizable partnerships — 83 with captain and opening batter Aryanson Patel for the second wicket and 168 runs for the fifth wicket with No. 5 batter Ishwar Alure, who scored 86 runs (12x4). Later, the St Sebastian bowlers proved too hot to handle for the Dadar schoolboys and were bowled out for a mere 46. Leg-spinners Siddhesh Wadgure (3-5) and Aryanson Padwal (2-0), and medium pacers Aryan Yadav (2-14) and Nayan Borade (2-7) demolished the rival innings.

In another match, Parle Tilak Vidyalaya (Vile Parle) left-arm spinner Atharva Narkar returned figures of 14-1-60-5 to bowl out  Vasant Vihar School (Thane) for 110 in 36.1 overs. Darsh Tiwari (24) and opener Balpreet Singh (20) were the only two batters to get some runs. Later, Parle Tilak easily chased the target, making 118-5 in 24.5 overs. Top-order batsman Aryan Desai remained unbeaten as they crossed the finish line.

Meanwhile, St Rocks High School (Borivli) spinner Jash Nayak’s impressive bowling (6-17) was the highlight of their seven-wicket win over former champions Rizvi Springfield (Khar). Batting first, St Rocks dismissed Rizvi for a paltry 74 runs before  easily surpassed the total making 75-3 in 27 overs. Opener Aatish Lad stayed unbeaten on 36 while Satyam Yadav contributed 34.
