Sonnet shock IA, enter final New
Delhi, April 6 Electing to bat, Indian Airlines lost wickets at regular intervals to totter at 94 for five, and eventually folded up for 155 in 42 overs, with Chetanya Nanda emerging as the wrecker-in-chief.

Mayank Sidana’s 60 was studded with nine fours while Saket Bhatia’s half century contained seven fours.

Manan Sharma spins a deadly web New
Delhi, April 6 Electing to bat, Sonnet were all out for 112 in 30.5 overs with only Mayank Aggarwal and Rushil Bhaskar batting with responsibility. Sonnet’s total was an easy target but the Gyan Bharti batsmen crumbled like a pack of cards in the face of hostile bowling by Manan Sharma who inflicted one body blow after another to send Gyan Bharti crashing to 92. Only Varun Sudan, Vidur Sethi and Prateek Pawar put up some resistance to gather some runs, but their efforts went in vain as the other batsmen caved in, unable to negotiate the guile of Manan’s spinning arm. Scores: Sonnet Club: 112 all out in 30.5 overs (Mayank Aggarwal 34, Rushil Bhaskar 30, Suhail Virmani 4 for 10, Naman Khanna 2 for 15). Gyan
Bharti: 92 all out in 32.1 overs (Varun Sudan 32, Vidur Sethi
