Defending champions Anjuman-I-Islam Allana English School (Fort) reaffirmed their supremacy in Mumbai inter-school cricket by retaining the Harris Shield title with a composed victory over Al-Barkaat Malik Muhammad English School (Kurla) in the final played under the aegis of the Mumbai School Sports Association (MSSA) at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday.

Batting first in their second innings, Al-Barkaat posted a competitive 243-3 in 40 overs, built around a fine century from Arhaan Patel. He compiled a well-paced 105, anchoring the innings against disciplined bowling. Arhaan found able solid support in Pradyankur Bhalerao, whose aggressive 67 added momentum during the middle overs.
