Defending champions MCC (Black), after earlier setback, came back strongly as they defeated table topper MCC (Blue) by 7 wickets, to remain in contention for the top honours in the 6-team MCC Double-Leg Pro-40 league, played at Oval Maidan here. Allrounder Daksh Burman (71- 12×4) and 2 wickets was their star performer. With today’s win “Black” now head the table with four wins out of five outings.
Batting first “Blue” did well to score 166 before they were all out. Consistent Shashank Kumar once again was their top scorer with 42. In reply, however, “Black” top batters Daksh Burman and Rahul Yadav (51 notout) took them home with much ado.
