Contrasting half-centuries from opener Hamza Khan (64) and lower middle-order batsman Shahid Khan (50) helped Anjuman-I-Islam Allana English High School (Fort) post an impressive 267 before being bowled out by Modern English School (Chembur) on Day One of the three-day final of the MSSA Harris Shield cricket tournament at Brabourne Stadium here on Monday.

On a true batting surface that offered little for the bowlers, Anjuman recovered well after opting to bat and losing early wickets, as Hamza held the innings together backed by some enterprising lower middle-order batting. Hamza, who struck 10 boundaries during his watchful 122-ball knock, forged a key partnership of 61 for the third wicket with Arhaan Patel (27). The other key contributor for Anjuman was skipper Abdurrahman Khan (34) followed by Shahid, who looked extremely good in his entertaining sixty-ball knock that was punctuated with four boundaries.
