Young Lions hunt down IISc

19 December 2010, IISc Gymkhana Ground, Bangalore: Masterful half centuries from Nihal (78) and Santosh (53) coupled with some inept fielding from IISc helped Young Lions Cricket Club prevail over IISc in a friendly match here. The visitors posted a daunting target of 273 for the home team. 

The IISc batsmen tried their best and managed to stay abreast with the required rate throughout the chase. Each one of Salil (33), Vasanth (38), Vikram (21) and Harsha (31) got starts and looked like carrying the run chase through. But frequent fall of wickets cost IISc dear. They were bowled out 30 runs short in the end with four overs still to go.


Brief Scores:
Young Lions CC - 272 all out in 50 overs
(Vasanth 38, Nihal 78, Santosh 53, Vijay 24, Vasanth 2/29, Prateek 2/37, Arindam 2/33, Shimjith 1/40)
IISc - 242 all out in 46 overs
(Salil 33, Vasanth 38, Vikram 21, Harsha 31, Giri 3/33, Gopi 3/54)

Result: Young Lions won by 30 runs
Man of the Match: Nihal
