TN wins Hazare Trophy
Ahmedabad, Mar 2 Former India
captain Sourav Ganguly's breezy half-century
went in vain as defending champion Tamil Nadu
beat Bengal by 29 runs to lift the Vijay Hazare
Trophy for the fourth time here today. Opting to
bat first, Dinesh Karthik-led Tamil Nadu rattled
up 379 for six with Murali Vijay hitting a
sterling 102-ball 103 and Karthik (88), Abhinav
Mukund (75) and Srikkanth Anirudha (56), son of
chief selector Krishnamachari Srikkanth, shining
with the bat.

before halting at 350 for eight with Ganguly (74 off 66
balls), Srivats Goswami (81 off 84 balls) and Anustup
Majumdar (66 off 44 balls) scoring bulk of their runs at
the Sardar Patel Stadium in Motera. C Ganapathy (3/63)
and V Yo Mahesh (3/79) shared six Bengal wickets between
them.
