K Rajkumar’s 119 for Bunts CC and R Rajan’s unbeaten 101 for Garnet CC gave the TNCA League’s II Division two hundreds in one round.
Rajkumar’s hundred was the difference. Bunts CC were bowled out for 228, and nobody else in the side came close to his 119, which took 116 balls. Two Rising Stars bowlers, S Mathivanan with four wickets and Rohan Ravi Bhutra with three, did most of the damage around him.
The chase never quite caught up.
Swadesh top-scored for Rising Stars CC with 45 and Murugesan stayed unbeaten at the end, but SJ Arun Kumar’s four wickets kept arriving at the wrong moments for the batting side, and Rising Stars ended their overs 31 runs short. For a II Division game that was close for long stretches, the margin flatters Bunts a little; the difference was one batter who stayed in for 116 balls while the rest of the order came and went around him.
Rajan’s unbeaten 101 finished a chase with 15 overs to spare
Garnet CC had a far easier afternoon, and it was decided early. India Pistons CC were all out for 197, Hari K Pandya making 41. R Rajan then reached 101 not out off 99 balls, and Garnet won by six wickets in 34.4 overs.
The third II Division match went down to the last over. The Jupiter SC were dismissed for 253, Santosh Shiv making 78. MCC replied through K Wafar, who hit 90, and G Surya Kanth, yet they finished their full allocation on 252 for 9. One run.
