Bangalore: Opener Bharath Chipli’s 189 (209b, 28x4, 3x6) and his 298-run first-wicket partnership with K.B. Pawan (92) propelled KSCA XI to 466 for five in its quota of 100 overs against Hyderabad CA in the KSCA all-India invitation tournament semifinal at the Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Saturday.
Deepak Chougule (64) and Gaurav Dhiman (65 n.o.) also joined the run feast, while Vinay Kumar missed out as he was run-out after Dhiman’s drive grazed bowler Indershekar Reddy and knocked down the stumps at the non-striker’s end.
Vinay failed to ground his bat in time and was out for a blob.
