4 March 2012, IISc Gymkhana Ground, Bangalore: Salil's superlative knock of 75 not out and Vikram's fiery spell of 4.2-0-18-4 ensured team IISc a semifinal berth as they drubbed CMS College by 35 runs in their last league stage match of the IISc Centenary Cricket Cup 2012.
IISc were 4/2 in the very first over but Salil's assured knock held the innings together as the home team managed to post a competitive 151/7 in 25 overs. Rudrajeet (3/12) was the pick of the bowlers for CMS.
CMS needed to chase down the target in 16.2 overs to qualify for the semifinals. In pursuit of the virtually impossible task, they briefly seemed to be in the fight when Sparsh (26) started some clean hitting. But Vikram's timely spell helped IISc bundle out the opposition thus booking a semifinal showdown with Presidency College on Saturday.
