Children’s Welfare School in Andheri will be going into the record books for all wrong reasons as nobody in the team managed at least a run in the Harris Shield U-16 cricket tournament in Mumbai and they lost the match against Swami Vivekanand International School by a massive 754 runs, Sportstar reported.
Batting first, Mayekar scored an unbeaten 338 runs in just 134 balls with seven sixes and 56 boundaries on the small field at Azad Maidan. With a lot of balls being hit over the boundaries, there was a delay in the number of overs. Children’s Academy could bowl only 39 overs in the stipulated time and had conceded 605 runs. They were then penalised 156 runs for the six overs short-fall and were set a target of 762 runs to win.
In reply, nobody could open their account for Children’s Academy as six of them were bowled, two run out, one given LBW and the other caught and bowled. Alok Pal claimed six wickets for the winners.
The team managed to score just seven runs in the six overs but all of them were extras – six wides and one bye.
