Imphal, April 20:
CRAU, Khamnam Bazar crawled to a facile three run win over Blue Hawk, Khurai in an IDCA Division I league cum knockout cricket tournament at THAU ground today.
Opting to bat first on winning the toss, the Khamnam Bazar side ran into Blue Hawk strike bowler Aboy, whose destructive spell of 6.1 overs to claim eight CRAU scalps restricted the opponent score to 139 all out in 26.1 overs.
Only the CRAU opener Gopeshor and No 3 Bimol managed to hold the devastating Aboy at bay to collect 40 (44) and 21 (41) runs respectively while the other batsmen failed to reach the double digit.
However, CRAU bowlers led by John (4 wkts) rattled Khurai side to curtail the run chase in the 29th over four runs short of the winning target.
Aboy�s effort earned him the man of the match award.
