Parag English School annihilated Swami Vivekanand International School to register a pulverising 237-run triumph in a league match of the Mumbai Indians Junior Under-15 Girls Inter School Cricket Tournament 2026.

After being put into bat, Parag English School openers immediately ensured that Swami Vivekanand International School regretted opting to bowl first.

Vedika Nikam kept the momentum going as he remained unbeaten, scoring a stellar century worth 122 runs, powering Parag English School to an astounding total of 278 runs in their stipulated 20 overs.

In response, Swami Vivekanand International School never seemed to be in contention as they failed to build any substantial partnerships and were bundled out for merely 41 runs. On the bowling front, Advaita Toraskar starred with ball in hand as she claimed 3 wickets while conceding just 3 runs to seal a thoroughly deserved win for Parag English School.   

In the Boys Under-14 category, Siddarth Bhosale starred with both bat and ball as he top-scored with a stellar half-century worth 76 runs, only to follow it up with an impeccable 5-wicket haul in the second innings to guide IES VN Sule Guruji English Medium High School to a commanding 57-run victory in the quarter-finals against Modern English School.

The Under-16 category was no short of drama as IES New English School scraped past IES VN Sule Guruji English Medium High School by an exhilarating 1-run victory. Arnav Mirge’s skilful and resilient 73 in the first innings formed the bedrock of a famous win for IES New English School as he held their nerves to pull forward in an adrenaline enticing encounter.
