Buchi Babu match: Spinners Agarwal, Bhutte limit TNCA President’s XI 

Jivesh Bhutte (Chhattisgarh, 5/69).

Spinners Jivesh Bhutte (5/69) and Shubham Agarwal (4/59) spun a vicious net as Chhattisgarh shot out TNCA President’s XI for 208 on day two of the all India Buchi Babu invitational cricket match on the Sri Ramakrishna Establishments grounds right here on Monday.

At stumps, Chhattisgarh reached 107 for 3 with Anuj Tiwari batting on 58.

Chasing 271 for the primary innings lead isn’t a simple activity on this tough monitor. One requires good use of the toes, persistence, focus and creativity, however the host batsmen, barring G. Ajitesh (48, 52b, 8×4), B. Indrajith (43, 62b, 6×4) and S. Mohan Prasath (46, 61b, 5×4), selected to play manner too defensively and that value them expensive.

Openers Vimal Khumar and B. Sachin performed cautiously in the beginning. It was comprehensible given the character of the wicket. However Butte and the pacers discovered methods to deceive the duo with their velocity, flight and switch.

With two wickets gone and 57 runs on the board, the host desperately wished a superb partnership. Ajitesh, who performed the function of an aggressor, and Indrajith did that with a 52-run stand for the third wicket.

Chhattisgarh skipper Amandeep Khare requested Agarwal to bowl. He made merry by selecting up three wickets on the trot to go away the host reeling at 116 for 5 at lunch.

The host misplaced three extra rapidly after the break, however a gritty 58-run ninth wicket partnership between Prasath and V.P. Diran saved the blushes for the crew.

The scores (day two):

Chhattisgarh 270 & 107/three in 32 overs (Anuj Tiwari 58 batting) vs TNCA President’s XI 208 in 59.5 overs (G. Ajitesh 48, Jivesh Bhutte 5/69, Shubham Agarwal 4/59).
