Andhra beat Goa by 4 wickets
28 November 1999
Andhra clinched victory by four wickets on the fourth and final
day of their encounter with Goa at the Ukku Stadium in
Vishakapatnam. A spectacular collapse by the Goans saw them slump
from 158 for 3 to 193 all out. The last 7 wickets yielded just 35
runs and could not stand up in the face of some good bowling from
YS Ranganath and N Madhukar. At the end of the innings Madhukar
had 4/44 while Ranganath ended up with 4/61.
The Andhra team responded well to the small target of 157 and got
there for the loss of 6 wickets. A good knock of 52 not out by opener
LN Reddy ensured that the home team overhauled the target. IG Srinivas
(40) and YS Ranganath (24*) also supported Reddy well. The Andhra side
deserved to win against a Goa team that really lacked depth in both
the bowling and batting departments.
