<p>Left-arm pacer Balakrishna Shirke (3/30) and leg-spinner Parag Khanapurkar (3/29) shared six wickets each as Customs restricted SBP to a modest 194 for nine in 50 overs. Simrat Bawa crafted a fine unbeaten half-century (73 n.o., 100b, 4x4, 1x6) as Customs scaled down the target with 7.1 overs remaining. <br /><br />Patiala batsmen struggled to shrug off accurate Customs bowlers, and never got the desired momentum during their innings. Veteran batsman and their skipper Pankaj Dharmani (56, 77b, 5x4) was the only batsman to offer a meaningful resistance, but there no support for him from the other end. <br /><br />Brief scores: SBP: 194/9 in 50 overs (Pankaj Dharmani 56, Vishwanath Bhalla 25; Balakrishna Shirke 3-30, Parag Khanapurkar 3-29) lt to Customs and Excise: 195/4 in 42.5 overs (Simrat Bawa 73 n.o., Hiken Shah 47, Devraj T Patil 38; Siddharth Kaul 2-35, Rajiv Sirhindi 2-43). <br /><br />At Chennai: India Cements 284/5 (Abhinav Mukund 69, KB Arun Karthick 83, K Shrivasudevadas 36 n.o., S Sureshkumar 41 n.o.; Sumit Sharma 4-34) lt to CAG: 290/8 (Prashant Malviya 43, Arpit Vasavada 82, Gaurav Gambhir 34, Bipul Sharma 48; Shadab Jakati 5-51, Lakshmipathi Balaji 2-79).
