Thanks to Badrinath Annadurai’s 61, City I managed to take a one-run lead over City III in the TNCA Round Robin U-14 tournament here on Wednesday. That slender margin was enough for City I to win the match by virtue of first innings lead. City III bowler Vedansh B Shah produced an impressive spell of three for 22 but it went in vain. In another match, City II was declared winner after taking a 22-run lead over City IV.

In a low scoring match, City IV was restricted to 145. Riding on S Mohamed Ali’s 93, City II succeeded in snatching a match-winning lead of 22 runs.
