MUMBAI, FEB 26: Rizvi, who had won the junior title earlier this season, lifted the Dr Ibrahim Rahimtoola Trophy, the symbol of supremacy in the Senior College cricket tournament, when they beat Jhunjhunwala by 167 runs in the final at the Elf Vengsarkar ground today.

Jhunjhunwala, resuming on their overnight score of 177-6, were all out on the second new ball, taken after lunch, for 268.
