Tamil Nadu lifts Subbaiah Pillai Trophy

By Our Sports Reporter

BANGALORE Dec. 11. Southpaws S. Sriram (110 not out) and Sadagopan Ramesh (89) helped Tamil Nadu clinch the South Zone Subbaiah Pillai Trophy at the Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Wednesday. Tamil Nadu defeated Andhra by seven wickets to top the league with 19 points.

In its last league game, Tamil Nadu needed a victory, a bonus point and a good run rate to have any chance of derailing defending champion Karnataka. The host, with a better net run rate, had the edge despite both teams being level at 14 points. A slump in Karnataka's performance was also crucial in Tamil Nadu regaining the title.

On a day when the script went haywire, Tamil Nadu achieved all its goals while Karnataka failed to gain a bonus point in its one-wicket win over Goa. Karnataka, with 18 points, had to settle for the runner-up slot.

Points table, read under played, won, lost, net run-rate and points: 1. Tamil Nadu 5-4-1-0.762-19, 2. Karnataka 5-4-1-0.915-18, 3. Hyderabad 5-3-2-(-0.057)-13, 4. Goa 5-2-3-0.491-10, 5. Kerala 5-2-3-(-0.796)-8, 6. Andhra 5-0-5-(-1.299)-0.
