Chennai: Unbeaten knocks of 82 and 60 by Pramod Das and left hander Vasudeva Das respectively and their unfinished 121 run stand for the third wicket steered Tamil Nadu to an eight wicket win while Andhra trounced Goa by seven wickets in the South Zone Under-19 Limited Overs Championship for the M A Chidambaram trophy on Friday.
However, the match between Karnataka and Kerala had to be abandoned without a ball being bowled due to overnight rain, after three inspections of the ground and the pitch. The teams got two points each. Chasing a victory target of 172 in 32 overs, to which its contest against Hyderabad had to be reduced due to rain, Tamil Nadu made light of it hitting up 176 losing just two wickets and seven overs to spare. Pramod Das hit up 82 off 71 balls with three sixes and seven fours while Vasudeva Das compiled his strokeful 60 off 57 balls with one six and four fours. Their stand of 121 came off 19 overs. Andhra Pradesh gained five points trouncing Goa by seven wickets reaching a victory target of 119 in 18 overs, after restricting Goa to 118 in 23 overs in the contest reduced to 25 overs due to delayed start. G Sankar Rao 67 (57 balls, three sixes and eight fours) and M Suresh 40 not out (42 balls, four fours) were the architects of Andhra's victory. They put on 112 for the first wicket in 16.3 overs. For Goa, which was put into bat, Aditya Angle made 64 (57 balls, 4X6, 1X4) while Donwill Rodriguez made 27 (36 balls, 3X4). Both added 64 for the fourth wicket in 9.5 overs. Andhra's off spinner M Suresh claimed three wickets for 5 runs.
