JOIN USBatting first, Herons rode on S Vinodh (48) and GS Chiranjeevi (52) knocks to post a modest 176 all out in 47.4 overs. Asgar Pasha (3/31) was the pick of the bowlers for Vultures CC.
Vultures CC then romped home in the 36th over with handy contributions from KV Bharath (31) and Tejas A Wagle (40). Things, however, got worse for Herons as their bowlers were penalised 40 runs for being four overs behind schedule -- ten runs per over -- to take Vultures’ overall score to 220 for eight.
Vultures will be joined by Bangalore Cricketers, Jawahars Sports Club and Jawans Cricket Club in the semifinals.
