Imphal, December 18 2019:
Model Club earned a 38 run victory against CHAMP, Khagempalli in the last and an insignificant Group A league match of the ongoing 17th Manipur Veteran Cricket Tournament 2019-20 at Langthabal Public Ground today as the semi-final line up has already been completed earlier.
Daughlas shone with 35 runs in the Model Club's innings before leading the bowling attack and picked up 4 wickets to ensure the 38 run victory against CHAMP.
Model Club piled up 157 runs for 10 in 30 overs after opting to bat first with Doughlas (35), Pyarelal (25) and Gourachandra (25) making valuable contributions.
CHAMP's bowling performance was very commendable in this innings and it was Bablu who enjoyed a 3 wicket haul and gave Model Club a torrid time.
CHAMP's Gopal and Bulu also managed two wickets each in their 6 and 5 over spells but second innings was a different story as they ended up with a dismal chase bundling out for 119 off 27.3 overs despite Homeshor setting the pace scoring 44 off 59 balls.
Ratan also made a notable 24 runs contribution in this innings which saw Doughlas scalp four off 5 overs on his way to becoming man of the match.
Gourachandra and Pyarelal also had a huge contribution in Model Club's win as they picked up 2 wickets apiece and gradually destroyed the CHAMP's batting line up.
NAPSA, Kha Imphal will play LCCC in the first semi-final match on December 21 while CYCLONE, Thangmeiband will take on YWC, Langthabal in the last semi-final match the next day.
