Last Updated 28 June 2017, 21:17 IST
Bangalore Zone bowlers complemented their batsmen’s effort with a decent bowling effort to help their side gain three points from the drawn encounter against Bangalore City XI in the SA Srinivasan memorial (under-23) tournament here at the Aditya Global ground on Wednesday.

In the second and final day, resuming from 28 for no loss and trailing Bangalore Zone by 435 runs, Bangalore City posted 347 for nine in the allotted 90 overs.

After their bowlers struggled on the first day, Bangalore City’s spirited batting effort was led by Rohith Gowda (98) and Sujith NG (59). However, a three-wicket haul from Rajat Hegde (3/77) and two wickets apiece for Vyshak Vijaykumar (2/60), Deepesh Poonia (2/76) and Adhoksh (2/86) helped Bangalore Zone walk away with innings honours.
