8 August 2010, IISc Gymkhana Ground, Bangalore: A target of 251 was always going to be tough, especially considering how miserably IISc had failed in the last match. To add to their woes, IISc collapsed from 93/1 to 161/7. But an unbeaten 90-run partnership by a resilient eighth wicket pair, comprising skipper Sounik and debutant Varun, saw IISc through to victory.
Earlier, Ranji CC were off to a flier powered by a hard-hitting Muddasar (63) who consistently targeted the arc between mid-wicket and square-leg. Later Aravind (44) and Thangadurai (50) also contributed handsomely to the visitors total of 250/10 in 50 overs. Arindam continued his consistent run with a four-wicket haul.
IISc's chase was initially guided by Shimjith's 49 before it went into complete disarray owing to loss of wickets at regular intervals. Thankfully, a veteran and a rookie saved the day for IISc.
