Chennai: R Sri Raghavendra Prasad (5/48) scalped five to guide Grove Cricket Club to a 24-run victory over Triplicane Recreation Club in a low-scoring TNCA Fifth Division ‘C’ match here.
Grove was skittled out for a paltry 118 in 37.2 overs. But, Sri Raghavendra pulled it out of trouble and took it home by bagging a five-wicket haul. Triplicane was bowled out for 94 in 29.3 overs, thanks to Sri Raghavendra’s match-winning spell.
In another fixture, S Chinna Maruthu’s (103) century went in vain as National Cricket Club went down to Unicorn Cricket Club by three wickets.
