Chandrasekar’s effort goes in vain
CHENNAI: Left-arm spinner DT Chandrasekar (5/42) bagged a five-wicket haul but his effort went in vain as Fine Star CA lost to MAS CC by three wickets in a TNCA-Thiruvallur DCA League Championship First Division match held here recently.
Batting first, Fine Star was bowled out for 140 in 31.2 overs, courtesy of S Taarakesh (4/27) and I Vetrivel (4/46), who scalped four wickets each. MAS wicketkeeper Karthick Krishna was involved in six dismissals, taking five catches and effecting one stumping.
In the second essay, left-arm orthodox bowler Chandrasekar fought a lone battle as MAS got past the finish line with 45 balls to spare.
