Sabeer bowls Venkat CC to win

Set to chase 235, Shivaji CC never got going and was bundled out for 97 in 27.1 overs. Sabeer was the wrecker-in-chief. Earlier, Shivaji’s Chandru Durai, too, came good with the ball taking five for 80 to restrict Venkat CC to 234 but eventually his effort wasn’t enough to prevent his team from losing by a huge margin.
