HYDERABAD:
Amol Shinde turned back the clock with a five-wicket haul which helped
Andhra Bank restrict
Income Tax to a modest score on the first day of their A-1 Division (3-day) League Championship on Tuesday.
The 33-year-old off-spinner Shinde claimed five for 52 as the strong Income Tax were bowled out for 244. Hyderabad Ranji skipper P
Akshath Reddy (57) and Praneet Kumar (68) scored half-centuries but the rest of the cast failed to counter the Andhra Bank bowlers.
In another match, Askari (98) fell short of a century by two runs as Enconse were 200 for four against Hyderabad Bottling. Only 58.5 overs of play was possible as overnight rains had delayed the start of the game.
In the A-2 Division (two-day) League, there was plenty of action as the bowlers continued to call the shots.
Umar Batha claimed eight for 38 to help Sayi Satya post a 70-run win over Apex CC. Replying to Sayi Satya's 282, Apex CC could manage only 212 as Umar ran through their batting line-up.
Manoj set up MCC's massive 167-run win over WMCC with a six-wicket haul. MCC, who had made a competitive 300 for eight, put up a great show with the cherry too. WMCC batsmen found the going tough against the disciplined attack and folded up for 123. Manoj took six for 33 to hog the limelight.
G Sampath Kumar did the star turn for Sri Chakra as his five for 56 helped his side post a 119-run win over Gouds XI.
Overnight rain washed out the day's play in quite a few matches.
