Chennai: A Muralidharan (5/47) bagged five wickets to guide Milkway Cricket Club to a three-wicket win over TV Sivaprakasam Memorial Sports Club in the TNCA Fifth Division C match. In the first innings, TV Sivaprakasam made a decent total of 269 for nine in its 50 overs.
Muralidharan single-handedly kept his side in the hunt by taking a five-wicket haul. Milkway crossed the finish line with just one ball to spare. It was hugely down to the effort of K Eswaran (5/61), whose spell went in vain.
