Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Round Up: Karnataka End As South Zone Champions, Pritam Das Bowls Assam To A Big Win

South Zone

Karnataka topped the South Zone of the T20 league by defeating Goa in the final league game by a big margin of six wickets with 50 balls to spare. After being asked to bowl first, Karnataka had a decent start as they scalped two wickets of Goa on first 42 balls of the game, with exactly same number of runs on the board.

Soon after the completion of the first half of Goa innings, the batting line suffered a slump and starts losing quick wickets. They were five down with a score of 80.

The upcoming batting line-up stood up against strong Karnataka bowling line up and somehow dragged the score past hundred, posting 120 on the board.

Surprisingly, it was skipper R Vinay Kumar who came along with Mayank Agarwal to open the innings. Agarwal was the first one to go back with a score of just 11. K Gowtham along with his skipper helped the team cross the 50 run mark before getting dismissed.

At one stage, Karnataka too lost two early wickets and there might have been the case when we could have seen a repeat of the first innings but Pavan Deshpande smacked 32 runs off just 13 deliveries, to lead Karnataka to a win, helping his team to top the South Zone league.

Karnataka 121/4 defeats Goa 120/7 by Six wickets at Chennai.

East Zone
Pritam Das scalped a fifer, to pack the bags of Tripura on a mere score of 85. It was the innings of skipper Manisankar Murasingh of 32 that helped Tripura to such an extent or else would have seen the team getting folded for a score below 60 or 70.
Though Assam also lost three wickets in a race to this total but never in the chase of this total, they looked in any sorts of trouble.
It was Assam who made most out of the opportunity of winning the toss and bowling first, to seal an emphatic win over Tripura.
