Yaseen Saudagar notched up a patient half century and then returned to claim two wickets to put Al Barkaat MMI (Kurla) in command on Day Two of the three-day MSSA-organised U-14 Giles Shield final against defending champions Rizvi Springfield at Wankhede Stadium yesterday.

Resuming Day Two at 83-7, Al Barkaat required another 28 runs to get past Rizvi's first innings total of 111 all out. Overnight batsmen Yaseen (26 not out) and Aryan Kumar (three not out) began the day cautiously and added 21 runs off 83 balls before the latter was caught in the cover region by Owais Khan off the bowling of Varun Ragji.
