Anand Vasu24-Oct-2000The first day’s play of the East Zone Under-14 clash betweenunfancied teams Assam and Sikkim saw twelve wickets fall for203 runs. This indicates that the wicket at the Gymkhana Ground inJorhat might have favoured the bowlers.Put in to bat, Assam were bundled out for just 181. JamiKameshwar Rao (25) and Githartha Salat Bordoloi (30) made theonly useful contributions. However, given the fact that Assam losttheir first six wickets with less than hundred runs on the board,their final total represented a recovery of sorts. The wickets forSikkim were shared all around with Soni Tamang (3/21) returning thebest figures.In response, Sikkim began badly, losing both openers for 22 runs asbad light stopped play. Although the opening pair of ToshitopdenBhutia (10) and Hissay Dorjee Bhutia (3) saw off the opening bowlers,they fell soon after. Having played out nine overs patiently, wherethey added just seven runs, they wasted a solid opening stand bylosing two quick wickets.
