Taarakesh stars in MAS’s triumph

Batting first, MAS posted 174, with G Vignesh (75) top-scoring for the side. Defending less than four runs per over, victor MAS bowled Korattur out for a paltry 89, thanks to right-arm medium pacer Taarakesh’s superb spell. He conceded only 32 runs during his match-winning performance.

In a 16th Lucas TVS Thiruvallur DCA Trophy Group A contest, right-arm medium pacer D Saravanan (5/29) scalped five wickets to guide Michelin Tyres to a 53-run success over Royal Enfield.
