CHENNAI: Garnet CC’s batter AV Abilash struck a sizeable 132-ball 123 against Rising Stars CC in its TNCA second division League Championship clash here on Thursday. His knock was enough to hand Garnet a 105-run win over the Stars.

Jupiter SC’s P Kannan wasn’t too far behind, as he smashed an unbeaten 140-ball 121, an innings that had seven fours and five sixes. In a round that was largely dominated by batting displays, Milkyway CC’s off-spinner PR Tharun was an anomaly, with figures of 6/48 bowling Sumangali Homes out for 163.
