Paresh’s hat-trick goes in vain for IOC

CHENNAI: Despite a hat-trick from left-arm spinner Paresh Patel, holder IOC Mumbai lost to Rail Wheel Factory by 53 runs in the all-India YSCA Trophy cricket tournament here on Friday. Both teams, however, failed to qualify for the semifinals.

In a match reduced to 15 overs-a-side due to overnight rain, Rail Wheel Factory, electing to bat, made 148 for six. Skipper K. Erregov made 70 not out (48b, 8x4, 1x6). IOC was dismissed for 95.

In another match, SBT (Tvm) defeated Chemplast Sanmar ‘B’ by 30 runs to head the bottom half with 12 points and enter the last four stage. Medium-pacer C. Vinoth Kumar claimed five for 16.

India Cements, defeating Canara Bank by 14 runs, won its third consecutive match in the super league to top the other half. The side had already made it to the semifinals. Despite the defeat, Canara Bank reached the last four phase.
