CHANDIGARH, Dec 13: LIC XI recorded a convincing eight-wicket win over Shine Star XI in the tenth Champions Trophy cricket tournament here at the PGI ground today.

Shine Star XI were never in the game. They had a horrible start and with none of their batsmen showing any resistance, the side was bowled out for a paltry 74. Chandan Puri claimed three wickets, while Randhir Nain and Gautam Sharma had two apiece for LIC XI.

LIC XI batsmen raced to the target in only 7.4 overs, losing two wickets in the process. Ravi Kumar remained unbeaten with 18 while Akash Salhotra hit the ball around, getting 31.
