Suresh hits ton as RKS wins

J Suresh Kumar (118) came up with a match-winning century as RKS Cricket Academy got the better of TI Cycles S & RC by a mammoth 152 runs in a TNCA Second Division ‘Elite’ contest here.

Batting first, RKS posted a huge total of 372 for nine in its stipulated overs, thanks to Suresh’s 80-ball 118. Suresh, whose innings was studded with 12 fours and three maximums, was well supported by S Senthil Nathan (93), who fell seven runs short of a ton. 

In reply, TI Cycles could only muster 220 for six in 50 overs, losing by a big margin. In another match, P Sugendhiran (106) and E Srinivasan (6/25) produced useful contributions to guide United Friends CC (T Nagar) to a 237-run success over Aruna CC.
