Sukhdeo cricket: Don Bosco Academy in last 16


Patna, November 21
Piyush Ranjan wreaked havoc on Gyan Bharati Public School taking five wickets for only 16 runs as Don Bosco Academy stormed in to the pre-quarter-finals of the 24th Sukhdeo Narain memorial inter-school cricket tournament at the DAV Public School (BSEB) Colony ground here on Thursday.

Piyush's devastating spell brought an unceremonious collapse to Gyan Bharati Public School innings after they were asked to bat first by Don Bosco Academy captain. Gyan Bharati boys could muster 65 runs off 17.5 overs. Kumar Nitesh was the lone batsman from the losing team to reach double figures (10). Sundries top scored with 21 runs. Ankur claimed three wickets for 7 runs.

In reply, Don Bosco boys too got some early jolts against some probing attack of Gyan Bharati’s Ankur, who finished the day with 6 wickets for 13 runs. But Sachin (19) and Abhishek (21) stemmed the slide as Don Bosco boys surpassed the rivals score with three wickets in hands off 14.3 overs.
Piyush Ranjan was declared man of the match. He received the award from Dr Achal Sinha.

Brief scores: Gyan Bharti Public School: 65 all out in 17.5 overs (Kumar Nitesh-10, Piyush Ranjan-5/16, ankur-3/7). Don Bosco Academy: 66 for seven wickets in 14.3 overs (Sachin-19, Abhishek-21, Ankur-6/13)

RMR Seminary surge ahead
