Sharan shines

MYSORE, JUNE 2. A stroke-filled century by C.S. Sharan (107, 128b, 8x4s, 2x6s) and his 124-run second-wicket partnership with opener K.P. Madan Kumar (72, 80b, 4x4s) helped Mysore (Chamundi) XI to register a big 203-run win over Chamarajanagar and clinch the title in the Mofussil Zones inter-district U-17 cricket tournament conducted by the KSCA Mysore Zonal committee at the Maharaja's College grounds here on Wednesday.

In the other tie at Gangotri grounds, which turned out to be a low scoring match, Mysore (Brindavan) registered a 76-run win over Mandya.

Incidentally, Mysore (Brindavan) XI, batting first was at one stage reeling at 34 for five, but a stubborn 35-run eighth wicket partnership between Md. Imaran Khan (27) and M.P. Manohar (27) helped it to reach a modest total of 128 in 35.3 overs. In reply, Mandya was bowled out for 52 in 25 overs.

Leg-spinner M.P. Manohar took five for 14 for Mysore (Brindavan) XI.

The scores:

Mysore (Chamundi) XI 275 for three in 50 overs ( C.S. Sharan 107, K.P. Madan Kumar 72, K.B. Pavan 55 not out) bt Chamarajanagar 72 in 25.5 overs ( Tousif Ahmed four for five, Nagarjuna three for 30).

Mysore (Brindavan) 128 in 35.3 overs ( Md. Imran Khan 27, M.P. Manohar 27, M.P. Hemanth Kumar three for 34) bt Mandya 52 in 25 overs ( M.P. Manohar five for 14).
