JOIN USBatting first, Bangalore Star CA got off to a horrible start and their slump extended right through the course of their first innings as they were bundled out for a paltry 94 in 29.4 overs.
N Gurucharan was the pick of the Bangalore Star CA’s batsmen, top-scoring with 52 but Rajajinagar’s Srinivas (3/12) and S Sreekumar (4/20) did well enough to reduce them to a bemoaning total.
String of cameos
In Rajajinagar’s first essay, a string of cameos from as many as six batsmen guided them to comfortable 216 all out in 45.4 overs despite a six-wicket surge from Bangalore Star CA’s Suresh NH.
Bangalore Star CA did better in their second stint as they notched up 161 in 28.3 overs but with a mere 39 runs to chase down for the title, it was all too easy for Rajajinagr even if they did lose two wickets.
