Manjala Sharath


Hyderabad: Sporting XI produced a formidable total of 424/5 in 86 overs, powered by twin centuries from A. Vignesh Reddy and Yash Satwalekar on the first day of the Hyderabad Cricket Association’s ‘A’ Division League Qualifier against Deccan Wanderers on Tuesday.

Vignesh struck 140 from 133 balls, including 15 fours and seven sixes, while Yash made 138 from 178 balls with 12 fours and four sixes. Their contrasting approaches provided the foundation for a commanding total.

The ‘B’ Division’s four pre-quarter-finals produced a mixture of controlled victories and competitive finishes. Mahmood set the highest winning total at 322/9 before restricting Nalgonda District to 196, while Sportive’s victory was driven by a remarkable bowling performance from S. M. Hussain Sayeed, who returned 5/7.

The closest contest came between Vijay Hanuman and Rohit XI, with Rohit XI edging the chase at 232/7 after Vijay Hanuman had posted 229. Overall, the division showed a strong emphasis on bowling control, with Hussain Sayeed’s five-wicket haul the standout individual performance.

The ‘C’ Division was dominated by exceptional individual batting performances, with 10 centuries. Suleman Uddin’s unbeaten 161 from 70 balls was the highest score, featuring a remarkable 25 fours and eight sixes, as Reliance chased 202 in only 19 overs. Mirza Maqbool Baig’s unbeaten 150 and K. Abhinav Kumar’s 141 were also major contributions, while Chetan Aditya C. V, Raghaav Narayan and B. Sachin Tendulkar added further centuries to an unusually prolific round.

Bowlers also produced several match-defining displays. Manjala Sharath’s 7/37 was the best haul while Arjun Potharaj’s 5/16, Md Rehaan’s 5/17, Akash Dasari’s 5/18, Kalam Jatin Sai’s 5/25, V. Prudhvi Chaitanya’s 5/28 and Daiwik Goyal’s 5/33 were impressive.

Batting dominance was particularly evident in the major totals: Nizam Cricket Club made 366/7, Hyderabad Patriots 307/8, Vijaypuri Willowmen 303/6 and Young Masters 315. There were also notable successful chases, with Satya reaching 207/6 in 30.1 overs to overhaul Gaganmahal’s 205/6 and Mahbub College reaching 179/6 in 31 overs against SK Blues.
