Kaviarasan’s spell bowls Comrades CC to a thrilling win

M Kaviarasan’s mesmerising spell of eight for 25 paved the way for Comrades Cricket Club to record a thrilling two-wicket win over Dorairaj Memorial CC in the TNCA fifth division league. After restricting Dorairaj Memorial to 131 thanks to Kaviarasan’s effort, Comrades struggled in its pursuit before scraping home. Elsewhere, riding on centuries from D Prashanth Prabhu (133) and Kedar Hemant Devdhar (121), United Friends CC cruised to a 55-run win over Sir Theagaraya RC. Set to chase 302, Sir Theagaraya was bowled out for 246.
