Manipur lads produced a dominant all-round performance to defeat Sikkim by 205 runs in the final of the Vinoo Mankad Trophy Plate at the Sector 16 Cricket Stadium here on Sunday.

After being put to bat, Manipur posted an imposing total of 281 in 47.4 overs as Lucky slammed a well-composed 130. Abi was the pick of the bowlers, as he claimed 3/38, while Pema claimed 2/36 for the bowling side.

In reply, Sikkim faltered against Manipur’s disciplined bowling attack. The batters bundled out for just 76 in 23 overs. Skipper Denree (35) emerged as the top scorer for his side. Yumnam Chingkhei Nganba (3/9) led the bowling attack while Zamir picked 2/7 to ensure a smooth passage for the side before lifting the title.

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).
