Kundu smashed 28 fours and 5 sixes with a strike rate of 169.31 defying the laws of test cricket. Dhruvaj who scored crucial 48 runs also contributed with the bat taking 5/33 in 14.3 overs.
CMT A (CTPC U14) side in 2nd innings trailing 176 runs were all out for just 63 runs in what turned out to be a batting collapse for the team. Spinner Mann Bhanushali again proved quite lethal taking 4/30 in 13 overs with 5 maidens taking his tally to 9/79 in 30.3 overs in the match which are some amazing bowling figures for the promising youngster who is knocking the doors of Mumbai U14 team. Vedant Gore was the pick of the bowler in 2nd innings as he took 5/31 in 12 overs cleaning up the opposition team in style.
