SHADOW, after electing to bat first, racked up a competitive total of 187 for three wickets on the back of Dhaneshor's unbeaten 69-ball 100 but CHAMP batters put in a concerted effort to seal the victory with four deliveries and four wickets left to spare.
Nongdrenkhomba 27* and Jayanta 22 also made significant contributions to SHADOW's tally but contributions from Gopeshor 40, Bonny 38, Ratan 31, John 20*, Sanjoy 20 and Surjit 18 were more than enough for CHAMP to seal the win.
For CHAMP, John picked two wickets and Bonny claimed one.
For SHADOW, Jayanta claimed two wickets (2/30) as Pyarlal, Dhawan, Bedamohon and Meiraba shared four wickets among them. Bonny of CHAMP who added 38 and claimed one wicket was named man of the match.
Tomorrow, YWC-L will play CYCLONE for the Group C pole position. Both having won a match each, have already qualified for the quarter finals from the three-team group.
