| Chemplast retains Moin-ud-Dowla Gold Cup |
| Second triumph in a row |
| The Chemplast cricket team continued
its winning run by emerging victorious in this year’s
Moin-ud-Dowla Gold Cup competition conducted by the Hyderabad
Cricket Association in early September. It was a repeat
performance by the holder of the trophy. In the final,
Chemplast trounced a formidable Cricket Association of
Bengal team by a margin of 117 runs after posting what
had seemed an inadequate score of 209 for seven in their
allotted 50 overs. Medium pace bowler Tamilkumaran and
left arm spinner Sreekumaran Nair were the most successful
bowlers in the final, while the consistent C Badrinath
top scored for Chemplast with 42, and J Harish made 38.
|
| Earlier, captain Sujit Somasunder made
120 and seamers Ganapathy and Prashant Chandran took three
wickets each against Railways. In a match against Hyderabad
Cricket Association the skipper made 86 and Badrinath
61, while fast bowler Balaji took 5 for 31 and left arm
spinner R Ramkumar dismissed three batsmen. |
