Cricket
The all-rounder, who had returned only a day earlier from Cuttack where he ensured the State under-22 team's entry into the all-India final with an all-round display, performed a hat-trick which enabled the side snatch victory by eight runs in a pressure-cooker situation. Kerala, buoyed by middle-order batsman Ajay Kudua's 99 (95b, 9x4, 2x6), needed nine runs for victory with three wickets in hand from the last over. Vidyut, bowling his fifth over, claimed Prashanth Chandran (caught by S. Suresh at mid-wicket), Tinu Yohannan (caught by S. Sriram at deep mid-wicket) and M. Suresh Kumar (caught by Madanagopal at long-off) with his first three deliveries to seal the issue. Tamil Nadu, the defending champion, took four points from the match. Earlier, the host, put in, made 240 for eight, thanks to the 76-run second-wicket stand between opener Suresh and left-hander Sriram. For Kerala, mediumpacers Yohannan and Chandran took two wickets each. In other matches Andhra beat Goa by five runs and Hyderabad defeated Karnataka by seven wickets.
The scores: At MAC: Hyderabad 155 in 45.5 overs (Ibrahim Khaleel 33, D. Ganesh three for 13) lost to Karnataka 158 for three in 36.2 overs (J. Arun Kumar 53, Mithun Beerala 32, Sunil Joshi 57 not out). Points: Karnataka 5 (including one bonus point); Hyderabad minus 1 (for conceding bonus point). At IIT-Chemplast: Andhra 237 in 50 overs (M.S.K. Prasad 63, Fayaz Ahmed 56, Y. Venugopala Rao 25, Y. Gnaneshwar Rao 31) bt Goa 232 for six in 50 overs (Swapnil Asnodkar 57, Advait Katkar 30, Robin D'Souza 52, Mandar Phadke 52 not out). Points: Andhra 4; Goa 0. At ICL-Guru Nanak: Tamil Nadu 240 for eight in 50 overs (S. Suresh 67, S. Sriram 35, S. Badrinath 36, R. Ramkumar 26) bt Kerala 232 in 49.3 overs (Ajay Kudua 99, Sunil Oasis 30, Vidyut Sivaramakrishnan three for 16, D. Tamil Kumaran three for 51). Points: Tamil Nadu 4; Kerala 0. Thursday's matches: Andhra v Karnataka (CPT-IP), Hyderabad v Kerala (Viveka-SICAL) & Tamil Nadu v Goa (SRMC).
