<p>Shishir Bhavane and Parappa Mordi came up with fine individual performances to spur Dharwad Zone to a commanding position against Raichur Zone on the opening day of the two-day under-25 SA Srinivasan Memorial Trophy tournament at the M Chinnaswamy stadium here on Saturday. <br /><br /></p>.<p>Mordi (4/46) and Ganesh Aihole (3/30) shared seven wickets between them as Dharwad bundled out Raichur for a paltry 143 in a little over 42 overs on a day when rain spared the City. <br /><br />Dharwad made the most of a clear day with the bat as well, amassing 253 for five at close for a lead of 110 runs. <br /><br />Left-handed Bhavane was in the forefront of their surge, making a quick unbeaten 146 off 155 balls that contained 13 hits to the fence and four sixes. KP Bipin (44) was the other leading scorer from the Dharward camp. <br /><br />Sanjeev Nayak took four wickets (4/91) for Raichur but Bhavane’s effort was too immense to overshadow. <br /><br />Brief scores: Raichur Zone: 143 all out in 42.2 overs (Raj Kumar N 25, Abdul Nauman 27; Parappa Mordi 4-46, Ganesh Aihole 3-30) vs Dharwad Zone: 253/5 in 55 overs (Shishir Bhavane 146 n.o., Bipin KP 44; Sanjeev Nayak 4-91). <br />Mysore Zone: 125 all out in 43 overs (Naveen 34, Sunash 46; Rahul Gautham 2-22, Shimon Luiz 4-35, Shreyas Gopal 2-21) vs Secretary’s XI: 193/3 in 55 overs (Shreays Gopal 87 n.o., GM Rishab 47; Suhas 3-57). <br />President’s XI: 305/8 in 90 overs (Roham Kodam 71, Abhinav Manohar 41, M Vijayakumar 33, David Mathias 67, J Suchith 58 n.o.; Aditya Sommanna 2-62, Santrup Chandra 2-56) vs Bangalore City XI: 13/0 in 11 overs. <br />Vice President’s IX: 146/6 in 48 overs (Nishanth Shekwat 61, Abrar Kazi 40 n.o.; Hoysala K 5-27) vs Shimoga Zone (Start delayed due to rain). <br />Bangalore Zone: 167 all out in 66.1 overs (Mayank Aggarwal 73; R Prabhakar 2-28, Hardik Munoth 5-31) vs Combined City XI: 48/1 in 24 overs. <br />Tumkur Zone: 257 all out in 76.1 overs (Manu Ravindra 67, Vishwanath HK 52 n.o., Sachin TM 39; Darshan 2-40, Sampath Shetty 2-61, Pawan G 2-29, Ritesh Bhatkal 4-77) vs Mangalore Zone: 143/6 in 34.5 overs (Nishanth Hegde 47; Sharath SP 2-16, Goddappa 2-16).</p>
