Nayal Borim thumped Sparkling by nine wickets in a GCA A Division match played at Sanguem ground on Friday.
Electing to bat first, Sparkling were bundled out for 133 in 33.5 overs with only Sahil Mandrekar (53, 76b, 7x4) making a noteworthy score in an otherwise sorry batting card. In the Borim outfit attack, Arjun Morajkar was the pick of the bowlers, claiming three wickets while conceding only 33 runs from his eight-over quota. Stanely Fernandes and Soham Kulkarni chipped in with two wickets each.
Nayal, after losing Sachin Bhat (12) rather early, made no further fuss as Vrusaj Taulikar with a run-a-ball 56 with six boundaries and a maximum and Omkar Joshi with an exact 50 from 74 balls with six hits to the ropes saw the team over the line in 25.3 overs.
