Bowlers rule the roost

​Secunderabad: For a change, it was the bowlers who took the spotlight in the A 2 Division two-day League Championship 2018. Several of them were match-winners, although a few for losing causes.

Among those who shone with and inspired their team wins was Yash Narayan Bung, whose 7/56 helped Classic CC beat WMCC by 11 runs. In another match, a 5/44 spell by VL Sashank was the toast of a massive 114-run posted by Balaji over Sri Shyam CC.
