Vivek sizzles

KARAIKUDI: Vivek Aadheenam’s all-round performance (57 and five for 29) and Krishna Kumar’s 106-ball 133 (15x4) helped host Sivagangai register a resounding 230-run victory over Karur in the four-team ‘C’ zone league in the TNCA inter-district under-19 cricket tournament here on Tuesday.

I. Sudesh’s 118 for host Theni went in vain as it lost to Namakkal by six wickets in the five-team ‘F’ zone league.

At Theni: Theni 199 for nine in 50 overs (I. Sudesh 118) lost to Namakkal 202 for four in 45.3 overs (Saravanan 65 n.o., Mani Bharathi 98 n.o.).
