The 10th month of the year started inauspiciously for Parel Sporting Club in the premier division of the Dr HD Kanga Cricket League on Wednesday. They were dismissed for a mere 10 runs mainly due to the brilliance of New Hind SC’s medium pacer Arsh Dhondy, who fell one short of bagging 10 wickets in an innings. Dhondy, 26, playing in only his second ‘A’ Division game, returned astounding figures of 9 for 4 at the Dadkar Maidan in Matunga.

Put into bat on their home pitch, Aditya Parab (83) and Kush Kariya (79) guided New Hind to 200-3 declared. In reply, Parel Sporting were bowled out in just 15 overs. Dhondy, who claimed 3-33 against Parkophene Cricketers in the previous game, rattled the Parel batters with his fiery bowling. Following on, the visitors lost two wickets for 17, both to Dhondy.
