For the past one decade, the finals of the Baidyanath Nath Inter-school Cricket used to be played in colourful jerseys and with a white ball. But this time, that couldn’t be done due to a shortage of funds and sponsorship this year. As a result, the final match did not have that grandeur like other times. The atmosphere of the final match was kind of pale. However, the atmosphere was different in the 22 yards as the fight between bat and ball was quite intense.

Pranabananda Vidyamandir decided to bat first after winning the toss. They managed to score 101 runs for the loss of 8 wickets in 20 overs. Bishal Das scored the maximum of 43 runs for the team whereas, Shiva Sinha scored 13. 16 runs came from the Extras. Suraj Das, Raunak Chatterjee and Suraj Paul took two wickets each. In reply, Vidyapeeth reached the target after losing 8 wickets in 18 overs. Deep Vaishnav (30), Sunny Singh (19), Abdul Tahir Laskar (12) and Anil Das (10) contributed significant runs to the board. 17 runs were scored from Extras. Shiva Sinha took three wickets and two by Biplob Sinha. Vidyapeeth’s Suraj Paul was adjudged as the Player of the Final match.
