PUNE, Jan 6: Shri Shivaji Preparatory Military School (Day) lifted the late Makarand Naik trophy defeating JN Petit Technical High School by 4 wickets in the final of the under-14 inter-school limited overs cricket tournament.Sachin Bhavsar's fine bowling performance scalping six wickets at the expense of just 29 runs curtailed JN Petit to 160 in the stipulated 40 overs.

Later with an asking rate of four per over, SSPMS cruised to a victory by a solid 76 run innings by Prashant Naik. Vishal Mengnani assisted him with a fine 41 runs.
