Half-centuries from N Sanjit and S Rakesh helped LCCC (Lilong Chajing) beat YCC (Wangkhei) by 85 runs in the Manipur Veteran Cricket Tournament on Monday.
LCCC elected to bat and posted a total of 203/7 in 30 overs as N Sanjit hit 55 off 36 balls and S Rakesh scored 53 off 55 balls, with a valuable contribution from L Krishna who made 44 from 32 deliveries.
In the process, the side lost two wickets to A Rakesh and one each to Y Robinchandra, S Shantikumar and L Everest.
In reply, YCC put up some fighting efforts courtesy of their top order S Shantikumar (26), N Helendro (22) and K Swami (22) but the trio's dismissals proved costly for the team.
They played 27.4 overs but could only manage 118/9, falling far short of the target.
Akbar claimed three scalps, S Rakesh snapped two, and Ashok and S Nandakumar took one each to help LCCC seal the victory.
