Sunil Sam’s penetrative bowling and subsequent haul of 7 for 65 paved the way for Globe Trotters to bowl out IOB for a modest 211 on the first day of the second round of the TNCA Senior Division league at Pachaiyappa’s college grounds.
AG Pradeep was the only one from IOB who could negotiate the Trotters bowlers and made a valuable 83. Once Pradeep got out in the 50.4 over, IOB’s innings collapsed.
Sam’s fiery spell (7-3-12-6) bundled out the cream of the IOB batsmen.
