Despite an all-round performance from skipper Aditya Khandke (6-75 and 67 runs), Fazlani L'Academie Globale (Mazgaon) suffered a one-run defeat against Matunga Premier School in the second round of the Mumbai Schools Sports Association-Mumbai Indians Giles Shield Plate Division at Azad Maidan yesterday

Chasing 216, Aditya struck seven boundaries during a 141-run partnership for the second wicket with Prakshat Thakkar (48). However, in the 40th over, Aditya inadvertently picked up the ball after playing a defensive shot and threw it back to the bowler. The Matunga side appealed and the umpire declared him out for handling the ball. Matunga’s tweaker Avinash Tripathi played a big role in his team’s victory by claiming five wickets for 60 runs as the Mazgaon team were bowled out for 214.
