JAMMU, Dec 3: SKUAST-Jammu started its campaign in the Vice-Chancellor’s T-20 Cricket Tournament on a winning note by defeating MPKV Rahori, Pune by 5 wickets at Patiala.
After winning the toss, MPKV Rahori elected to bat first and scored 80 runs by losing all the wickets in the process.
For SKUAST-J side, Anoop, Manjeet and Nissar bowled brilliantly by drying up the scoring opportunities and picking wickets at regular intervals.
In the second inning, SKUAST-J chased the target in the 15th over by losing 5 wickets. At one stage SKUAST-J were 35 for 5 in the 8th over thereby creating some anxious moments but Manjeet Singh and Parveen Kumar played with immense responsibility and chased the target without losing any further wickets.
