Sikandar Hayat scalps five

Mumbai Dec. 9. Bihar's bowlers had a wonderful day against Mumbai in the semifinal of the Polly Umrigar (under-15) tournament at the Elf-Vengsarkar Cricket Academy, Oval on Monday. New ball bowler Sikandar Hayat captured five wickets after his partner Suman Kumar despatched the Mumbai openers to the pavilion by the eleventh over.

Five Mumbai batsmen were dismissed for zeroes and not before the appearance of the No. 7 in Oninder Gill in the middle that the home team looked like putting up a decent score. Gill and No. 9 Rohan Bagwe took Mumbai from 84 for seven (28th over) to 176 before Hayat broke the stand dismissing Bagwe for 48 runs.

Gill faced 162 balls and struck five 4s to remain undefeated on 55, while Bagwe hit eight 4s in his 90-ball effort. Bagwe made it a fine first day for himself, demonstrating his allround ability. He bowled five overs and took two wickets for 19 runs.

In the second semifinal played at Brabourne Stadium, Cricket Club of India, Punjab failed to capitalise on a sound start given by Sunny Sohal and Gurkirat Singh, who top scored with 71 runs.

Punjab's first innings declined from 41 for no loss to 163 for 7 before Bharat Loomba and Gazinder Singh forged a stand of 46 for the eighth wicket.

For Uttar Pradesh the star bowler was left-arm spinner Saurabha Kashyap. He bowled 32 overs, conceded 71 runs and took four wickets.

The scores: Mumbai 207 (Oninder Gill 55 not out, Rohan Bagwe 48, Sikandar Hayat five for 39) vs Bihar 46 for two.
