Chennai : Chennai Superstars will meet Delhi Jets in the finals of the Indian Cricket League’s 50-over format at the Mayajaal Sports Village on Sunday.
Earlier, in an inconsequential match between Kolkata Tigers and Chandigarh Lions, the Tigers defeated the Chandigarh team by three wickets.
Lions put up a score of 272 for the loss of 7 wickets in the allotted 50 overs after skipper Dinesh Mongia won the toss and elected to bat.
After a shaky start, Mongia came to the Lions’ rescue, making a patient 108 from 129 balls. He was ably supported by T.P. Singh (64) and Reetinder Sodhi (62), eventually taking the score past 220 in the 45th over.
For Tigers, Abu Nachim took 3 wickets for 52 and Syed Ahmed scalped 2 for 33.
Tigers too didn’t have a good start while chasing the target as they lost three quick wickets in a span of 4 overs.
Rohan Gavaskar scored 67 off 82 balls, while Abu Nachim scored a brilliant 45 off 41 balls to earn the man-of-the-match award.
For Lions, the pick among bowlers was Rajesh Sharma who picked up 3 for 31.
