The South Public School dominated proceedings to register a bolstering 10-wicket victory over Delhi Public School in a league match of the Mumbai Indians Junior Girls Under-15 Inter School Cricket Tournament 2026.

After winning the toss South Public School elected to bowl first, a decision that worked wonders due to Akanksha Bari's impeccable bowling. In the 3^rd over of innings which yielded 0 runs, Akanksha dismissed four batters primarily by rattling their stumps and trapping them Leg Before Wicket (LBW). Akanksha Bari went on to pick up a clinical and immaculate 7-wicket haul as her exceptional bowling ensured that Delhi Public School was bundled out for just 64 runs.

It seemed as if it was Akanksha Bari’s day as she backed up her 7 wickets with an unbeaten, top-scoring knock of 29 runs to guide The South Public School to a dominant win, chasing the target of 65 within 5 overs with 10 wickets in hand.  

In the Boys Under-14 category, The Royal Gondwana Public School annihilated Centre Point School to record a formidable 224-run victory.

Batting first, Pranjal Choudhary’s scintillating and sensational century worth 184 runs alongside handy contributions from Pratheek Naik Jatoth (52) and Aryan Nishad (44) propelled The Royal Gondwana Public School to a monstrous total of 377 runs.

Anay Sarda’s resilient half-century came in a losing cause as Centre Point School could only amass 153 runs in their stipulated 40 overs as Om Daharwal’s 3 for 29 sealed a voracious win for The Royal Gondwana Public School.
