Imphal, November 20 2023:
Md Islauddin picked five wickets to help FORCE-Kshetrigao seal a narrow 1-wicket win over NAPSA in a low scoring encounter of the 3rd MNCA Super Plate Tournament at Model Hr Sec School and Oriental College Ground.
FORCE won the toss and opted to field first.
With Islauddin (5/8 in 5 overs) leading the bowling attack, NAPSA were bowled out for just 79 runs within 20.5 overs.
Md Kabir Ahmed (2/14) and Tasib (2/9) also shared four wickets in this innings which saw L Electronic 11, H Bonny 10 and S Albert 15* post meagre double digit scores for NAPSA.
In reply, L Kipajan 3/19, N Recher 2/18, H Boney 2/18 also bowled well to keep FORCE'S batters in check but their meagre total proved costly as contributions from Afjal 18 Md Nawaz Sharif 16, Md Islauddin 10 were more than enough for FORCE to post a winning 81 in 24 overs with a wicket left to spare.
Islauddin of FORCE who returned with best bowling figures and added 10 runs was adjudged man of the match.
The KASC vs KSDO match scheduled to be played at Khangabok Cherapur Public Ground was abandoned due to wet outfield.
Eventually the two teams shared a point each.
