Andhra Pradesh hold nerve in tight contest
Staff Reporter - 6 January 2002

Andhra Pradesh registered a tense five-run win over Tamil Nadu in their Ranji one-day match at Visakhapatnam on Saturday.

Winning the toss, Andhra Pradesh decided to bat first and a third-wicket partnership of 95 runs between AS Pathak and Y Venugopal Rao formed the backbone of a final total of 260 for six. Pathak made 50 off 81 balls, while Venugopal Rao made 68 off 96 balls.

Captain MSK Prasad scored 58 off 60 balls, but the real boost in the scoring rate came from RVC Prasad's blistering 42 off 26 balls, with four fours and two sixes.

Tamil Nadu lost Sridharan Sriram and Hemang Badani early, but Sridharan Sharath's responsible knock kept his side in the hunt till the very final over. His 82 off 120 balls was well supported by skipper Robin Singh's 50 off 56 balls.

SV Saravanan's 37 off 34 balls further down the order included some quick running, but Andhra Pradesh bowlers held their nerve to restrict Tamil Nadu to 255/7.
