Unbeaten knock of 88 helps beat Heroes by 2 wickets
CHENNAI: South-paw Hemang Badani’s (88 not out) heroics helped Chennai Superstars register a thrilling two-wicket victory over the Hyderabad Heroes in the second match of the ongoing ICL 50’s being played at Mayajaal on Monday.
Chennai won the toss and elected to field in a high scoring game that went down to the last over.
Batting first, Hyderabad Heroes put on 263 in their stipulated 50 overs thanks to a fine hundred by Ambati Rayudu (103). Rayudu came in the 4th over with the score on 7.
He along with Heroes skipper Anirudh Singh (77) put on a partnership of 161 for the third wicket. Hyderabad started slowly but once Rayudu and Singh got their eye in the runs started flowing. Then a couple of quick wickets made it seem that Hyderabad would struggle to reach 250 but a late flourish by their lower middle order ensured they reached a respectable total.
The stand out performer for the Superstars was G. Vignesh (3/40) who continued his fine bowling.
Chasing the target, Chennai Superstars got off to a decent start losing their first wicket at 37. That brought in S Sriram who along with opener Hemant Kumar put on 79 for the third wicket. Kumar was in fine form as he struck a run a ball 64.
The Superstars then lost 3 wickets with score on 116. This flurry of wickets brought in Hemang Badani who seized control of the game by stringing together two 50 plus run partnerships. First was a 59 run stand with Vasanth Sarvanan for the 5th wicket.
And then he put on 51 runs with P Vivek for the 7th.
