Day 1 of the much-anticipated K.S.C.A. KM Ramprasad Shield U16 encounter set the tone for a classic contest. Gopalan National School, after winning the toss, faced early setbacks and despite some resistance in the middle order, they were bundled out for 130. The bowling attack from Poorna Vikas Vidyalaya was sharp, disciplined, and relentless, keeping the pressure on throughout the innings.
In response, Poorna Vikas Vidyalaya started cautiously. They lost an early wicket, but the batters at the crease held their ground, ending the day at a steady 39/1. With the pitch starting to offer some turn and variable bounce, Day 2 promises high drama.
