In one of a kind incident, not even a single batsman of the Children's Welfare Centre School team was able to score a run against Swami Vivekanand International School (SVIS) in a U-16 Harris Shield match on Wednesday, 20 November.
While chasing a mammoth 762-run target, Children's Welfare Centre School were all-out for just 7 runs, with all runs coming off extras and in the process suffered a massive 754-run defeat at the New Era Cricket Club plot in Mumbai.
Earlier, SVIS from Borivali amassed 761/4 in 45 overs with their one batsman, Meet Mayekar playing an unbeaten knock of 338 runs.
Meet’s 134-ball delivery knock was studded with seven sixes and 56 boundaries.
Krishna Parte (95) and Ishan Roy (67) also made significant contributions.
SVIS, which is also the alma mater of Rohit Sharma plundered 605/4 in 39 overs but the Children's Welfare Centre School were penalised 156 runs for not completing their 45 overs in time.
