Mumbai schools dominated the Pro Star League knockouts as Don Bosco, Matunga, joined IES VN Sule in the semi-final line-up with a 23-run win over Kolkata’s LMET International at DY Patil on Tuesday.
The Mumbai schools were mentored by pace ace Zaheer Khan, while LMET was trained by batting legend Sourav Ganguly during a week-long unique camp held in Mumbai and Hyderabad respectively in the build-up to the T20 knockouts.
Don Bosco managed to put only 122 on the board after winning the toss and electing to bat. But their bowlers put in a solid display to thwart LMET International’s challenge and restrict them to just 97/7. Ritesh Nalawade bagged a brace, while Vijit Poojari, Nilay Pawar and Yash Kripal grabbed a scalp each.
On Monday, IES VN Sule had defeated Kolkata’s St Marks Boys by eight wickets.
