DU Inter College: Ishan Chatterjee’s ton guides DCAC to victory over Shaheed Bhagat Singh College (E)
A superb century by Ishaan Chatterjee (118 runs, 128 b, 11×4, 1×6) and a good overall performance by the bowlers helped DCAC knock out Shaheed Bhagat Singh College (E) by 64 runs in their DU Inter College encounter.
Batting first, DCAC had a bad start to their innings as 3 of their top 4 batsmen were already back with just 54 on the board. But Ishaan Chatterjee and Garvit Chhabra (56) joined hands and took their team out of deep waters with a match changing 143 run partnership. There were minor hiccups later in the innings but a quick fire unbeaten 12 ball 28 cameo by Harsh Rathore ensured that DCAC ended the innings on a high with a total of 289 runs.
In reply, SBSC (E) had a decent start to the innings with first 2 wickets adding 77 runs. But they kept losing wickets at regular intervals after that and were also not able to keep up with the required run rate. No batsman was able to hold one end and that’s where SBSC lost the plot. Four batsmen got themselves out in 30s thus breaking the momentum.
Venkat Shivam was the pick of the bowlers for DCAC scalping 3 wickets and he was well supported by Tanuj and Allan both of whom captured a couple of wickets each.

DCAC: 289/7 in 50 overs (Ishaan 118, Garvit 56, Harsh 28*, Ajay 3/37)
