18 February 2012, IISc Gymkhana Ground, Bangalore: The IISc Centenary Cricket Cup 2012 got off to a rousing start with Presidency College - runners up in the recently concluded KSCA inter-collegiate tournament - registering a polished 83-run victory over Christ University.
Batting first, Presidency posted a competitive 159/9 in the allotted 25 overs, Prithvi (61) and Sai Kumar (47*) were the chief architects of the innings. Ashwin (2/26), Yash (2/44) and Srikanth (2/33) shared the bowling spoils for Christ.
Christ's reply was scuttled by Anand (5/21), ably supported by Ajay (2/16) and Girish (2/9). Atiqulla (13) was the only batsman who managed to reach double figures that included a stunning straight six. For Christ University, that was pretty much the only bright spot in the innings that folded up for a paltry 76 handing Presidency a comprehensive victory.
