PUNE, Feb 15: U B Engineering accumulated full points from a five wicket win against ST CWD in the Poona League limited overs cricket tournament, being conducted by the Maharashtra Cricket Association.

ST taking the crease first put on a steady score of 152 before being bowled out in the 35th over. The team’s total was propped by some decent scoring coming of the bat of Virag Awate (46) and Kedar Dedge (32) and Karim Noor (34). U B Engineering restricted the side through Shailesh Joshi who ended with a haul of five wickets giving away just 25 runs.

In reply, U B batsmen got past the total conceding five wickets with Nitin Gangawani doing the bulk of the scoring and ended up with a half century. Assisting him at the other end was Ajit Chavan who score 26 runs. Shailesh Joshi and Gajanan Hegnde chipped in with 23 runs apiece.

In another tie, R Anwar scored a brilliant unbeaten 132 but his efforts went in vain as PCH went down to State Bank of India (SBI) by six wickets in a high-scoring tie.

PCH aided by Anwar piled up 216 for 9 from their allotted overs with all-rounder K Fakhi bringing up the best spell for the bankmen claiming 3/25. In reply, SBI rattled up the required runs in the 32nd over. The mainstay of the innings was an equally sound knock of 85 from Fakhi, while Sunil Gudge (32), U Harshe (24) came up with useful contributions.
