New Delhi, May 28
India international Gautam Gambhir played an entertaining knock of 80, studded with nine fours and five sixes, to star in Hari Bhoomi’s 29-run victory against South Delhi Club in the Lala Hari Ram Aggarwal Memorial Day-Night Cricket Carnival at Karnail Singh

Stadium. Though Amanjeet Singh’s gutsy all-round performance could not help South Delhi win, he, however, earned the man of the match award.

Gautam Gambhir and Farman Ahmed hoisted a 115-run stand for the fifth wicket to send South Delhi on a leather hunt.

Batting first, Hari Bhoomi accumulated 224 for 9 wickets in 30 overs. Some check was applied on the Hari Bhoomi batsmen by South Delhi bowlers Amanjeet Singh (4 for 26) and Nischal Gaur (3 for 26), but the South Delhi batsmen failed to cash in on the advantage gained by the bowlers.

South Delhi crashed for 195 in 29.4 overs with left-arm spinner Vaibhav Dua claiming four wickets.

Nischal Gaur and Amanjeet Singh put on a gutsy batting display, scoring 79 and 43 runs, respectively, but South Delhi fell just short of the target as the other batsmen failed to rise to the occasion when victory was at a hailing distance.

Gautam Gambhir was named the best batsman while Vaibhav Dua got the best bowler award. Union Minister of State for Defence Chaman Lal Gupta gave away the prizes. Lt-Gen K. K. Nanda was the guest of honour.

Scores: Hari Bhoomi: 224 for 9 in 30 overs (Gautam Gambhir 80, Sandeep Rana 35, Farman Ahmed 27, Siddarth Verma 21, Amandeep Singh 4 for 32, Nischal Gaur 3 for 26, Franklin 2 for 54).

Our Correspondent

Sonepat, May 28
The officials of the Health Department, headed by Mr Surinder Punia, Food Inspector, conducted surprise raids on the premises of several milk dairies in Eight Marla Colony here last evening in a bid to check the sale of adulterated and underweight milk to the consumers.

According to a report, this action followed a series of public complaints about the sale of adulterated and underweight milk to the residents of the city. During the raids, the officials managed to take the sample of the milk from one dairy only as the owners of other dairies stopped the sale of the milk on getting information about the raids.

Mr Punia, however, stated that such raids would continue for some more days so that the owners of the dairies did not indulge in adulteration.
