NAGPUR: Maintaining his outstanding form, Aniruddha Chore played yet another superb knock to steer Ruby Sporting Club to the final of the Guzder League Twenty20 cricket tournament at the VCA Civil Lines ground on Wednesday.
No. 3 batsman Chore slammed an unbeaten 66 (46 balls, 6x4, 1x6) to help Ruby down Navniketan by 21 runs in a one-sided semifinal played at the VCA Jamtha ground.
Opting to bat, Ruby amassed 160 for 4 and then bundled out Navniketan for 139 in the penultimate over to secure their place in the final.
The second semifinal also failed to rise to the occasion with MSSC knocking out Indian Gymkhana by 33 runs. Former Vidarbha Ranji skipper Ranjeet Paradkar (38 runs, 4 for 28) displayed brilliant all-round performance to take his side to the final.
