New Star middle-order batters set the pitch ablaze in a successful chase
During the encounter between Gauhati Town Club and New Star Club, the Stars won the toss and elected to field. The Guwahati batters scored just 152 with the help of Pradyuman Saikia’s half-century and decent contributions from Sumit Kashyap and Sumit Ghadigaonkar. Both score 25 to help breach the 152-run mark.
Stars’ skipper Parvej Musharaf bagged a three-wicket haul and Reshab Dipak and Kalam Raiza struck with two wickets apiece.
As Stars went on to chase, the top-order collapsed entirely with both the openers departing early. The Stars bowlers provided early breakthroughs, however, Guwahati’s middle order was determined. Jitumoni Kalita’s half-century supported by Anurag Talukdar’s 41 helped them chase, and win by five wickets. Not only this, but the furious batters also spared three overs and three balls.
