In what turned out to be a heavily one-sided affair, Modern English School dominated proceedings to thump St. Aloysius High School by a marauding margin of 332 runs in a league match of the Mumbai Indians Junior Inter School Cricket Tournament 2026.

After opting to bat first, Modern English School got off to flyer due to a staggering 124-run opening stand between Swaraa Jadhav and Pragati (43), with the former going on to score a stellar half-century worth 67 runs off just 26 balls. Once the foundation was set, the middle order kept the momentum going as Sarah Khatri (52) and Tanvi Rane (51) went on to score half-centuries, while crucial cameos from Ruth Saluja (34 n.o) and Rianna Nikhil (21 n.o) propelled Modern English School to a colossal total of 351 runs in their stipulated 20 overs.

In response, St. Aloysius seemed to offer no resistance as they were bundled out for merely 19 runs, handing Modern English School a humungous 332-run victory. Swaraa Jadhav backed up her pyrotechnic fifty with an immaculate 5-wicket haul to cap off an exceptional all-round performance.

In the Boys U-16 category, Aaditya Pandey claimed an impeccable 6-wicket haul to guide Al Barkaat Malik Muhammad Islam English School to a formidable 98-run win over Swami Vivekanand International School.
