Andhra claim five points from drawn encounter

The final day's play between the Andhra and Tamil Nadu teams at the Municipal Corporation Stadium, Vishakpatnam was called off after just an over had been bowled on Friday. The home team claimed five points after securing the all-important 65-run innings lead on Thursday. Tamil Nadu, decidedly the stronger side, received three points from the encounter.

Andhra had earlier made 355 in reply to Tamil Nadu's 290. The strong Andhra reply was based on a 99 from No. 6 RVC Prasad. KS Shahabudeen, who made 53, and Fayaz Ahmed (48) also made significant contributions. For Tamil Nadu, S Sriram, three for 16, and MR Shrinivas, three for 72, shared the bowling honours.
