Shillong, Mar 24: Rohit Yadav and Nangsanshaphrang Kynter (pictured left and right) batted their teams – Cricket Lovers CC and Hurdles CC – to resounding victories in the 3rd East Khasi Hills Cricket Association District League in Smit yesterday.
While Cricket Lovers hammered Thynroit CC by 227 runs, Hurdles were victorious by 96 against Marbisu CC.
In the first match, Player of the Match Rohit blazed his way to 101 from 55 balls while team mate Muksodul Choudhary hit at an even faster rate for 71 from 29 as Cricket Lovers posted 248/1 in their allotted 20 overs, a run rate of 12.40, after winning the toss and choosing to bat first. The only wicket to fall was taken by Dalumbor Kharpran (1/44 in 4 overs).
