Imphal, December 15 2023:
NAPSA-Kha Imphal, having settled the Group A opening game of the 20th Manipur Veteran Cricket Tournament against MODEL in a rare draw, pulled off a 4 wicket win over UCC-Uripok today at Langthabal Public Ground.
Bipin starred with a 61-ball 68 to set the tone during the chase for NAPSA who crossed the target in 28.3 overs with four wickets left to spare after UCC posted a competitive total of 179 runs for 8 wickets.

After choosing to bat first, top three batters played sensibly and gathered more than 100 runs with Bishorjit adding 28 off 20 balls, Brojen adding 38 runs off 39 balls and Hemjit adding the highest 40 off 44 deliveries.
David 20, Ritikumar 17 and Kumarkanta 13 also managed double digit scores to help UCC post a target of 180 runs.
Simon of NAPSA was the pick of the bowlers finishing with the figures of 2/36 in 6 overs in the UCC innings while Gopal and Bhogendro claimed a wicket apiece.
In the chase, NAPSA lost two batters in quick succession but Bhogendro (29) and Bipin (68) resurrected the innings before Ratan (35 not out) and Puspen (9 not out) finished off the chase in style.
Kumarkanta 2/30 and Ashinikumar 2/27 impressed all with their bowling performances but their efforts did little to contain the NAPSA chase.
Deepak and David also picked a wicket apiece.
Bipin who starred with his bat was eventually adjudged man of the match.
YUCC will play SNC in the next match tomorrow at the same venue.
