INTER-SCHOOL PREMIER CUP — SEASON 12

GROUP A — MATCH 3

Shastri School vs National Model School

Venue: National School Ground

---

National Model School entered desperate.

Two losses already.

Another defeat would almost destroy qualification hopes.

---

And honestly—

they played like a desperate team.

Aggressive fielding.

Constant sledging.

Fast bowling from first over itself.

---

The commentary noticed immediately.

> "National Model are bringing serious intensity today."

> "And interestingly... they’re attacking Sahil’s weakness areas in warmups already."

---

That caught Sahil’s attention slightly.

Because during nets—

their bowlers repeatedly targeted:

Short ball at body.

Wide slower ball.

Hard-length pace.

---

They had clearly studied him.

---

Shastri School bowled first.

And for first time in tournament—

things went badly early.

---

National Model attacked powerplay brutally.

57/0 after 6 overs.

---

Coach Verma looked irritated near boundary.

Field placements changed constantly.

Kabir rotated bowlers aggressively.

Still—

momentum stayed with National.

---

Commentary became energetic again.

> "This is the strongest batting display against Shastri so far!"

> "Pressure officially arriving now!"

---

Then Ravi changed the game.

---

Slower ball.

Wicket.

Next over—

wide yorker.

Another wicket.

---

Suddenly momentum flipped.

Exactly like practice matches.

---

National Model still recovered late though.

Mainly through their captain Vivek.

---

National Model School — 171/7 (20 Ov)

Top Scorers

Vivek — 61 (39)

Top Bowlers

Kabir — 4-0-33-2

---

During innings break—

commentary focused completely on chase pressure.

> "This is Sahil’s biggest official chase yet."

> "And National Model absolutely won’t feed him pace."

---

Shastri’s chase started horribly.

Again.

---

Rohan: Out for 6.

Aman: Run out.

Nikhil: Bowled.

---

Shastri School — 38/3 (5.1 Ov)

---

And suddenly—

the atmosphere changed completely.

Because for first time in tournament—

Sahil entered under genuine pressure.

---

Commentary voice sharpened instantly.

> "Now THIS is pressure cricket."

> "Can Sahil finish from difficult position... not comfortable position?"

---

That line stayed inside Sahil’s head briefly.

Because honestly—

it was fair question.

Most of his official innings so far came from stable setups.

This one?

Different.

---

First over against pace stayed ugly.

Short ball cramped him badly.

Then wide slower delivery beat outside edge completely.

---

The crowd reacted loudly.

And commentary noticed immediately.

> "National Model have done homework."

> "They’re refusing easy hitting zones."

---

Sahil started slowly.

Very slowly.

---

11 runs from 15 balls.

---

And for first time—

tournament pressure felt heavy.

---

The system appeared quietly.

---

the partnership settled innings.

---

Shastri School — 96/3

Needed: 76 from 48 balls

Sahil: 24* (22)

Kabir: 38* (34)

---

Still difficult.

Still alive.

---

Then National Model made mistake.

They brought medium pacer back too early.

---

First ball.

Back of length.

---

PULL.

SIX.

---

The sound alone shifted momentum instantly.

And commentary exploded immediately.

> "THERE HE GOES!"

> "One mistake and Sahil punishes brutally!"

> "That pull shot is becoming his signature!"

---

---

The next over became worse.

FOUR through cover.

Single.

FOUR again.

---

Suddenly—

required rate crashed completely.

---

Commentary sounded almost excited now every ball Sahil faced.

> "National Model had control ten minutes ago!"

> "Now they look terrified to bowl short!"

---

By 16 overs:

Shastri School — 146/3

Needed: 26 from 24 balls

Sahil: 58* (37)

---

And from there—

the chase finished smoothly.

No drama.

No collapse.

Just controlled finishing again.
