IISc drub Sangam

3 October 2010, IISc Gymkhana Ground, Bangalore: Riding on a sparkling unbeaten century by guest-player Vasanth (109*), IISc drubbed Sangam Cricketers by four wickets in a friendly match. 

 

Sangam lost half their side with hardly 70 runs on the board. Arjun scalped an impressive three-wicket haul besides effecting a sharp runout. But Deepak (99*) and Kate (37) put together a commendable rear-guard action helping Sangam post a challenging total of 233/7.

IISc's chase had an assured start before it went into overdrive with Arindam (42) and Vasanth unleashing some furious blows to all corners of the ground. Such was the dominance of the batsmen that IISc reached home with more than twelve overs to spare.

With their run-machine Ashith unavailable for the all important league match versus Rajajinagar Colts, a stern test awaits team IISc coming Sunday.

Sangam Cricketers - 233/7 in 50 overs

(Jeevan 22, Deepak 99*, Kate 37, Arjun 3/38)

IISc - 235/6 in 37.5 overs
