Last-wicket partnership gives United the edge

Darshan Kamthe who scored 95 runs; (right) spinner Sandeep Pawar took 5-10

United Cricketers' Darshan Kamthe was involved in a 65-run partnership with Mohammed Khan for the last wicket against Muslim United Sports Club (MUSC) in the Dr HD Kanga Cricket League ‘B' Division at Cross Maidan on Sunday. But his innings of 95 (11x4, 4x6) out of the team's total of 166 indicated that he enjoyed a fair bit of proprietorship as it were especially when it came to the last wicket stand in which Khan supported him even though he scored only one run and remained unbeaten.

In reply, MUSC struggled to counter left-arm spinners - Sandeep Pawar (5-10) and Ankit Vishwakarma's (3-6) - to be bundled out for 48. United ended up claiming first innings points.
