Imphal, March 26 2015:
Model Club (A) dusted Champ by 9 wickets on the performance of Mujibur (60) and Robindro (55) in the group match of Aribam Amutombi Sharma Memorial Veteran Cricket Championship on Wednesday.
Champ was restricted to 133 in the 35 overs by Model Club (A), who opted to set target after winning the toss.
Champ's batsmen were not given free opportunities to open their arms and strike the ball at will by Model's bowlers.
Homeshore took 2 wickets while Chaoba; Iqbal, Tomba and Ruhindro accounted 1 wicket each.
In response to Models sustained pressure Tajbanta, top scorer of Champ, laboured to 22 from 43 balls so does Ninghor 20 off 27 balls.
The score was made respectable by a little cameo from Ratan 19 from 13 balls during the later part of Champs batting innings.
The small target was achieved without any major scare when Mujibur and Ruhindro played out the Champs attack and guided Model to a comfortable win.
The lone wicket of Model was claimed by Gopal.
Ruhindro's performance with the bat and ball earned him the Man of the Match.
