Pune:<\/strong> In the MCA Men\u2019s Corporate Shield Tournament 2025-26, Punit Balan Cricket Academy delivered a dominant all-round performance to beat Kapil Sons by 89 runs. The match was played at Nehru Stadium, Swargate, Pune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After winning the toss, the Academy batted first and piled up a massive 404\/7 in 50 overs. The innings was built on two match-defining centuries from Pawan Shah and Sachin Dhas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Openers Harsh Mogaveera (30) and Pawan Shah provided a brisk start, adding 55 runs for the first wicket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shah then stitched a huge 151-run partnership for the second wicket with Sachin Dhas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pawan Shah struck 101 (101 balls, 11 fours) to bring up his century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sachin Dhas followed with a blazing 101 (95 balls, 9 fours, 2 sixes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the death overs, Siddharth Mhatre played a quickfire knock of 50 off 34 balls, helping the team cross the 400-mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chasing a steep 405, Kapil Sons showed intent but lost wickets at regular intervals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Siddhesh Veer scored 51 off 38 balls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neeraj Joshi (50) and Anurag Kawade (50) also hit half-centuries and tried to keep the chase alive.
However, under mounting run-rate pressure and against disciplined bowling, Kapil Sons were restricted to 315 in 44.5 overs. Notably, Anurag Kawade also completed 1,500 career runs during the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The match officials were Akshay Pawar, Mahesh Sawant, and Navin Mane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
