Santhosh, Sarath star in Bunts’ win

Batting first, Bunts made 288 for seven in its stipulated overs, thanks to a century from Santhosh. In reply, Triplicane could only muster 255 for nine, largely due to the good bowling effort of leg-spinner Sarath, who bagged a five-wicket haul. In a Fourth Division ‘A’ contest, right-arm medium pacer S Taarakesh (7/40) scalped seven wickets to guide Madras United Club to a 25-run success over Gandhi Nagar Starlets Cricket Club.

In another game, I Prakash (5/44) picked up a five-wicket haul as Social Cricket Club got the better of Prithvi Cricket Club by five wickets.
