JOIN USBatting first, Naveen (172) and Aditya (67) alongwith cameos from Punith (45), Abbas (26) and Dipendra (31), carried Vivekananda to a mammoth 391 for five in the allotted 50 overs.
With a steep target in front, Bethany fell by the wayside as none of their batsmen could come up with any big scores. Kushal R (40) and Aditya Reddy (32) put up some resistance but their small contributions were not enough to compensate for the damage Vivekananda’s Dipendra (4/17) and Abbas (2/35) did to reduce them to 177 in 47.5 overs.
