Top run-getters and wicket-takers after Match 8 (Updated) ft. Kaladi Nagar Babu and Rajakavi Rajagopal


Pondicherry South XI beat Yanam XI by four wickets in the seventh game of the Pondicherry T20 2024 at the Cricket Association Puducherry Siechem Ground on Friday, January 5. Pondicherry West XI thumped Pondicherry North XI by 50 runs in another game.

Opener Kaladi Nagar Babu’s marvelous 56-ball 88 helped Yanam post 164-4, but the knock went in vain. Pondicherry South rode on opener Karthikaraja Udayanarayanan’s half-century (58 off 47) and the brisk start by captain Sivamurugan (33 off 18) to chase down the total with five deliveries to spare.

Pondicherry North bowlers Aakash Jaiganesh (3-25) and Shushruth VS (3-24) bowled clinically to bundle Pondicherry West for 140 in 19.3 overs. In response, Harshith S (3-14) and Krishnakumar S (3-24) skittled the opposition for 90 in 17.1 overs.

On that note, here’s a look at the top run-getters and wicket-takers of the tournament following Friday’s action.
