Predictably enough, the South Zone Ranji Trophy league match between Kerala and Andhra ended in a close finish at the Regional Engineering college ground in Kozhikode on Saturday with the hosts winning by three wickets.
Andhra, 169 for eight overnight, were all out for 179. KST Sai who was injured did not bat. Sunil Oasis took the last wicket to finish with five for 27.
Kerala required 162 runs for victory. They were off to a good start with opener MP Sorab (52) and S Shankar (30) putting on 62 runs for the second wicket off 20.3 overs. Kerala lost wickets at regular intervals but Sorab stood firm until he was fifth out at 122. He faced 118 balls and hit five fours. There was some excitement however as two more batsmen were dismissed and the Kerala score was 141 when the seventh wicket fell. Suresh Kumar at No 9 however played some bold strokes and hit 19 off 20 balls with three hits to the ropes and Kerala were home without any further loss. Kerala got eight points and Andhra nil.
