Sunny Sandhu scored 61 (44b, 6x4, 2x6), and left-arm spinners Sachin Rathi (three for 21) and N. Selva Kumaran (three for 32) starred with the ball to help Salem Spartans beat iDream Tiruppur Tamizhans by eight runs at the India Cement Company ground here on Saturday.
A highlight of Sunny’s innings was his back-to-back sixes to deep midwicket and long on off Trilok Nag in the 15th over. He also bowled with the new ball and conceded 21 runs in three overs.
Dry pitch and a seemingly crumbling top surface indicated the strip would be spin-friendly.
