Chandigarh, December 11

Nishunk Birla claimed an eight-wicket haul (8/20) to help host Chandigarh to a comfortable 261-run lead over Vidarbha during a Cooch Behar Trophy match held at Sector 16 Cricket Stadium.

Vidarbha, who were set out to chase the target of 365, struggled from the very beginning. Birla demolished the top order — Aditya Ahuja (22), Aniket Askar (29), Shree Choudhary (5), Zubairuddin (5) — and pushed Vidarbha on the back foot at 77/5. Vidarbha failed to recover from the fall of top order and collapsed for 103. Birla’s effort was supported by Nikhil (1/20) and Anmol Sharma (1/38).

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
