Bombay captain Adeel Khalid put on the most devastating of captain's performances to lead his side to a 146-run victory against Leo.

Khalid smashed an incredible 13 sixes on his way to making 133 out of his team's total of 193-9 in Division Nine East of the Leicestershire & Rutland Cricket League.

The Bombay skipper had to pull off a rescue mission after his side had slumped to 8-4.

But, with their backs to the wall, Khalid and partner Shantu Mistry steadied the ship with a stand of 103.

Mistry played the supporting role, finally being dismissed for a patient 33, while Khalid continued his onslaught.

Leo simply had no answer to his power-hitting as he smashed 78 runs just in sixes on the way to his century.

His captain's innings was just what the side needed after they were bowled out for 65 in their first game of the season.

But it was Shailesh Mistry who would then become the star with the ball, as he took five wickets for just 10 runs.

Leo never looked like getting close and were bowled out for 47.
