Salwan openers Soumik Chatterjee and Yogesh Nagar made the Frank Anthony side pay heavily for their folly of opting to field. The duos 123-run partnership proved critical.
Nagar milked the bowling and scored at will under the relentless sun. He slammed 12 fours and two straight sixes to post the first century of the tournament.
With the duo on fire Salwan looked well on course for the 300-run objective set by coach Sanjay Bharadwaj. But it was not to be as Nagar ended up being run out on 103.
I was doing well and the wicket was perfect for batting. I wanted to reach 150 but the only mistake I made cost me my wicket. I was looking at the fielder and did not hear my partners call, he admitted.
Later, some spot-on off-spin bowling by Yusuf Jamali and captain Daniel Liao restricted Frank Anthony to 272. Jamali picked up four for 48 runs while Liao and Rohit Saini claimed three apiece.
The opening partnership was a little more than what we had bargained for, said Liao. Chasing 273 was always going to be difficult.
Nagars smile said it all. I am happy with my performance. I dedicate my man-of-the-match award to my team, he said. BRIEF SCORES:
Salwan Boys (Delhi) 272 (Soumik Chatterjee 53, Yogesh Nagar 103, Narender Singh 31, Rohit Saini 25; Yusuf Jamali 4 for 48, Daniel Liao 3-45) bt Frank Anthony (Bangalore) 142 (Akshay Dey 22, Surat Frank 22; Rohit Saini 3 for 29, Yogesh Nagar 2 for 29, Ashutosh Sharma 2 for 16, Narender Singh 2 for 8).
