AMRITSAR, MARCH 7

DAV Cricket Academy won the Richcook Junior League cricket tournament after recording an easy victory over Yuvraj Singh Cricket Academy (YSCA) played at the Gandhi Ground on Sunday.

DAV won the toss and elected to bat first. It was the right choice as Varinder Singh’s 73 off 83 balls, Krishna Chouhan’s 44 and Vansh Rishi’s quickfire 46 helped DAV put a formidable total of 189/6 in 40 overs.

Chasing the target, players of the YSCA were bundled out for an ignominious 94. Barring Sahil Johal, who scored 42, his teammates never did really settle as DAV’s bowlers made life hell for them. DAV’s Sahil Johal, who was adjudged the man of the match, claimed five for 19 runs in six overs.

Tilak Raj, executive member of the Amritsar Games Association (AGA), finely handled the commentary. Dinesh Bassi, chairman of Amritsar Improvement Trust (AIT), gave away the winning trophy and other prizes. He also announced a grant of Rs1 crore to the AGA for a ground and other establishments for the progress of the game.
