Imphal, March 31 2019:
Homendro picked up 3 wickets and Mayank Raghav had a beautiful outing with the bat in the chase to help CYCLONE post a 10 wicket win against TRAU, Kwakeithel in the first semifinal match of the 2nd Luwangpokpa Trophy T-20 Cricket tournament organised by Manipur Cricket Association, at Langthabal Public Ground today.
The tournament resumed today after almost nine months and TRAU which won the toss had a dismal end as they could pile up only 86 runs for all wickets down in 20 overs.
Suresh was the highest scorer with 18 runs off 22 balls while Priyojit and Isorjit managed 12 runs each in TRAU's innings as Homendro of CYCLONE led the bowling attack and finished with a three wicket haul in his 4 overs spell.
Vikash and Akshaykumar also added more teeth to the bowling attack and picked up two wickets apiece while maintaining a perfect economy to deter the Kwakeithel side from building up any scoring momentum.
In reply, Mayank Raghav and Narshing produce a best partnership and remained on the crease unbeaten to steer CYCLONE to the target in the just 9.5 overs.
Eventually, Homendro was adjudged man of the match.
CHAMP will take on Model Club in the second semi-final tomorrow.
