Cuttack, Nov 20: DR College, Bhubaneswar emerged champions in the Utkal University-organised Inter-College cricket tournament defeating Raghunath Jew College by 82 runs in the final played at the SCB Medical College Ground here, Friday. .
Being put into bat, DR College scored 175 all out in 39 overs. Avinab Ghosh (59, 104b, 6×4) emerged the top scorer for his side. He was well-supported by Sk Salim and Ashish Kumar Sahoo both of whom scored 34 each. Krishna Choudhury (4/32) bowled well for Raghunath Jew.
However, in spite of restricting DR College to a reachable target, Raghunath Jew were never in the chase as they lost wickets at regular intervals to be bowled out for 93 in 28.1 overs.
Only Subhrajit Singh (41, 43b, 6×4) was the only batsman to offer some resistance against some incisive bowling by Sumit Kumar Moharana (3/15) and Dipti Ranjan Bihari (3/11), who shared six wickets between them. The other Raghunath Jew batsmen did not apply themselves and were guilty of throwing their wickets away when a little bit of application could have helped their cause immensely.
