Chandigarh boys suffer yet another loss

Chandigarh, November 8

City boys faced fourth consecutive defeat in the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy as they suffered a 42-run loss against Saurashtra at Lahli, near Rohtak, today.

Batting first, Saurashtra made 209 for four in the allotted 20 overs, with opener AV Vasavada (72) and wicketkeeper-batsman Sheldon Jackson (70) hitting a half-century each.

Bhagmender Lather took two wickets for Chandigarh.

Needing to score 10.5 runs per over for victory, Chandigarh could only manage 167 for six in 20 overs.

Arjit Singh (44) and Gaurav Puri (35) made useful contributions to the chase but could not help Chandigarh cross the finish line.
