Vijaya stifle IISc in humdinger

26 February 2012, IISc Gymkhana Ground, Bangalore: A stingy spell of 5-0-20-2 from left arm spinner Anil IG choked IISc's attempt at chasing 153 in 25 overs as they were restricted to 146/5. Thus Vijaya College completed their second win in as many matches in the IISc Centenary Cricket Cup 2012. 

Varun Gowda (44), Ganapathi (30) and Santosh (31) contributed to Vijaya's par total of 152 as the home team managed to bowl out the opposition in the 23rd over via an intense team effort from the bowlers and the fielders. IISc effected as many as four run-outs in the innings. 

The chase was set on course through solid contributions from Salil (35) and Ashith (34). Later on Varun (37*) guided the chase with the required rate swelling. But Anil's stifling bowling ultimately made the difference as IISc fell short by six runs.


Brief scores: (25-overs match)
Vijaya College - 152 all out in 22.4 overs
(Varun Gowda 44, Ganapathi 30, Santosh 31, Teja 2/34, Ashith 2/31, Roy 2/9)
IISc - 146/5 in 25 overs
(Salil 35, Ashith 34, Varun 37, Varun Gowda 1/28, Anil IG 2/20, Pradeep 1/13)


Result: Vijaya College won by 6 runs
Man of the Match: Anil IG
