Rahil restricts Rovers

Sports Reporter

CHENNAI: Parry’s left-arm spinner Rahil Shah’s five-wicket haul restricted Jolly Rovers to 186 on the second day of their TNCA first division league fourth round encounter at the Murugappa-TI Cycles ground here on Friday.

Parry’s was 31 for two in response on a day when the ground conditions considerably delayed the start of play.

At RKM-Viveka, Southern Railway Institute was bowled out for 234 against Young Stars after being 179 for four at one stage. Off-spinner K. Srinivasan picked up four wickets for Young Stars which had earlier made 262 in its first innings.

Globe Trotters finished with 396 against UFCC (T. Nagar) at Pachaiyappa’s ‘A’. Off-spinner J. Joel Joseph was the best bowler for UFCC with four for 93. Despite the 82-run second-wicket partnership between M. Vijay Bharathram (46) and Aditya Ganesh (38), UFCC was 130 for five in reply when bad light stopped play.

At SRMC (turf), Grand Slam was 117 for six chasing Indian Bank’s 282.

Aruna takes lead

Kishore V. Nath (71 batting) and Noorul Riaz (59) took Aruna to 196 for six in reply to Alwarpet’s 185 at IIT-Chemplast. Poor ground conditions at CPT-IP meant play was possible only after tea in the India Pistons-Vijay encounter. In the 35 overs that were possible, India Pistons lost one wicket to finish the day at 159 for seven after being 107 for six overnight.

The scores:

At RKM-Viveka: Young Stars 262 (S. Ramesh 81, L.N. Prasad Reddy 40, R. Prashanth 48) vs Southern Railway Institute 234 in 88.5 overs (Kevin Sukumar 50, A. Benz Raj 71, K. Srinivasan four for 76).

At Pach. ‘A’: Globe Trotters 396 in 123.3 overs (M. Praveen Srivatsan 122, Sunil Viswanathan 50, V. Yomahesh 46 n.o., J. Joel Joseph four for 93) vs UFCC (T. Nagar) 130 for five in 54.4 overs (M. Vijay Bharathram 46).

At CPT-IP: India Pistons 159 for seven in 75 overs vs Vijay.

At SRMC (turf): Indian Bank 282 in 117 overs (P. Satish 56, E. Suresh 69, S. Dinesh Kumar 67) vs Grand Slam 117 for six in 52 overs.

At Murugappa-TI Cycles: Jolly Rovers 186 in 92.3 overs (M. Vijay 46, R. Ramkumar 57, V. Subramania Siva 41, Rahil Shah five for 84) vs Parry’s 31 for two in 18 overs.

At IIT-Chemplast: Alwarpet 185 in 53.3 overs (P. Sakthi four for 32) vs Aruna 196 for six in 64 overs (K. Noorul Riaz 59, Kishore V. Nath 71 batting).
