Imphal, January 24 2020: YWC, Langthabal earned their second victory in the ongoing 3rd Heibok Trophy T-20 Cricket Tournament by beating PTCC, Patsoi by 69 runs at Langthabal Public Ground today while Al-Ameen kicked off their league campaign with a 44 run victory against ESU, Wangkhei.

In the Group A league match, YWC won the toss and set PTCC a target of 140 runs for all wickets down in their quota of 20 overs after electing to bat first.

PTCC were bowled out for only 70 runs in 15 overs as Priyokumar bowling was too good and thus YWC extended their winning runs to two, having beaten KSDO, Kyamgei in their opening fixture.

In YWC's batting, Prafullomani made the most of the runs with 40 runs in his name off 32 balls while Bikramjit and Bishwas made significant contributions of 24 and 22 runs to ensure their team post 139 total.

Sohail and Kenjit took centre stage in PTCC bowling as they picked up three wickets apiece to give YWC batsmen a tough experience on the crease.

Sadananda of the same team also managed two wickets in his spell of 4 overs.

In reply, PTCC made a good start with Hemchand adding up 32 runs off 29 balls but the remaining order fell cheaply as Priyokumar wreaked havoc by removing 4 wickets alone.

Dinachandra enjoyed a three wicket haul in 3 overs in this innings and his team mate Sunil finished with a wicket to set up the big win.

Priyokumar was eventually named man of the match.

Meanwhile in the Group B league match, Mustaque and Abdullah added 37 and 32 runs en route to Al Ameen's 140 runs total for 9 after opting to bat first while Nasir added up another 28 runs in 21 balls.

ESU's Henary picked up 3 wickets while Mehul and Hemchand claimed two wickets each in this innings before they fall flat with 96 runs on the board in 17.5 overs in the chase as Nousad of Al Ameen led the bowling attack and finished with best haul of 4 wickets.

Nousad was also adjudged man of the match latter.

Mehul and Henary also added 13 runs each in the chase which saw Abdullah and Najamul scalped two and a wicket respectively.
