CPL 2021 stepped into its fourth day as Swami Vivekananda International School locked horns with Cricfit Academy in a U-16 game at the Kandivali East. Swami Vivekanand has been playing consistently well throughout CPL 2021 and they once again produced a dominant performance to route Cricfit Academy.
Opting to bat first, Swami Vivekananda had the worst start possible losing opener Krish Kanavade in the first ball of the match. Reeling at 0 for 1, another opener Pranay Kapadia tried to shift gears hitting a couple of boundaries and Cricfit Academy struck twice in quick succession to have that batting side at 28 for three.
