Acharya Institute of Technology (AIT) registered a comfortable 85-run win over Oxford College of Engineering (OCE) in the Dr. M.S. Ramaiah memorial inter-engineering college cricket tournament at the Sir MVIT ground here on Friday.
Nitish made a fine 54 (7x4) before Shinoy John used the long handle to good effect (50, 6x4, 2x6) as AIT finished with 219 for five in 30 overs.
In reply, barring a sedate 30 from Mohd. Yaseen, Oxford was never really in the hunt and could only muster 134 for nine off its quota.
Host MSRIT, powered by a brilliant 95 by Ankit Vora, scored 201 for nine and then dismissed City College of Engg. for 142.
