Imphal, January 05 2023:
An all-round performance by Rajababu helped IBSA notch up a 5-wicket win over OSCAR in their Group B match in the 7th MNCA Plate Tournament on Thursday.
IBSA bundled out OSCAR for 117 in 23.4 overs and then they chased down the target in 24.5 overs with efforts from Rajababu (54 not out) and Pravesh (22 not out).
In the chase, two each of IBSA's wickets fell to Boocker and Ringku Kangujam.
Earlier, Rajababu stole the show by racking up five wickets while Heromen Ningthoujam snapped three, and Karan Prajapati and Pravesh took one each to lay the foundation for IBSA's victory.
OSCAR who chose to bat first wilted under pressure that saw them set up a 118 target for IBSA, who had little trouble knocking off the runs in 24.5 overs with five wickets remaining.
Rajababu deservedly earned himself the man of the match accolade for his all-round display.
On Friday, RRCC (Churachandpur) will take on SHADOW (Thangmeiband) .
