DU Inter College: Ram Lal Anand College beats Shivaji College by 5 wickets
Ram Lal Anand College (RLA) delivered a clinical performance with both bat and ball and successfully prevailed over Shivaji College by 5 wickets in their DU Inter College Knockout match. Almost everybody contributed in the win- be it bowlers who restricted the opposition to a below par score or the batsmen who chased down the target with not much difficulty.
Shivaji College batted first and were off to a nightmarish start with top three batsmen back by the score of 30. Then Anmol Vyas (32) and Aditya Sharma (60) steadied the ship with a 69 run partnership. Fortunately or unfortunately this proved to be the highest partnership in the innings as rest of the batting, especially the lower order did not carry the innings forward and crumbled under pressure. The whole team was sent packing for mere 149 runs in 38.3 overs.
Hitesh Mehra bowled brilliantly for his 3 wickets and so did Manoj Rawat and Himanshu Bansal for their two wickets each.
Chasing a modest total, RLA were off to a flying start with a 74 runs partnership between openers Vikrant Chhillar (44) and Hitesh Mehra (27). RLA lost 5 wickets enroute their chase but No.3 Paras Sehrawat remained unbeaten on 39 to see his team home. For Shivaji, Manoj Tehlan and Aditya Sharma captured 2 wickets each.
Brief Scores:
Shivaji College: 149 all out (Aditya Sharma 60, Anmol Vyas 32, Hitesh Mehra 3/20, Manoj Rawat 2/22)
