Inder Reddy scalps five against Karnataka Staff Reporter - 8 December 2002
A haul of five for 28 by left-arm spinner Inder Shekar Reddy helped Hyderabad coast to a four-wicket win over Karnataka in their low-scoring Ranji South Zone one-day encounter at Bangalore on Saturday. Karnataka started shakily, losing their first five wickets for only 49 runs. A mini-stand of 52 between B Akhil and Sunil Joshi came apart at Reddy's insistence in the 29th over, and from there, wickets tumbled to find Karnataka all out in 35 overs for just 120. Hyderabad experienced a few hiccups in their chase, finding themselves at 52 for five before D Vinay Kumar hit an unbeaten 45 to guide his side home in 37 overs. Tamil Nadu romp home by six wickets After overnight rain reduced the Tamil Nadu-Goa South Zone Ranji one-day tie to 38-overs-a-side, Goa produced a shambles of a batting display that saw them lose the game by six wickets and virtually gift Tamil Nadu five points. Although opener SK Kamat made a steady 40, none of the other batsmen could cross even 20, and tight bowling from Tamil Nadu bowlers - L Balaji in particular - saw them bowled out for 152 in 36.2 overs. Tamil Nadu's strong batting was never likely to stumble, and Hemang Badani made an unbeaten 33 off as many balls to see his side to a win in just 27.2 overs. Sunil Oasis 99 sees Kerala trounce Andhra Pradesh Sunil Oasis was stranded on 99 not out as Kerala waltzed to a six-wicket win over Andhra Pradesh, chasing down the target of 232 in 37.2 overs after overnight rain curtailed the game to 40 overs a side. Andhra Pradesh made it to 231 for six largely on the back of AS Pathak's 64 off 71 balls (11x4) and Y Venugopal Rao's 55 (51b, 3x4, 2x6). But it did not prove to be enough as Kerala, after reeling slightly at 49 for three, recovered with the help of Oasis and AN Kudua. Oasis' 99 came off 85 balls (11x4, 2x6), while Kudua made 45 off 43 balls. © CricInfo
