SHILLONG: The bowlers of BK Bajoria School tore through the batting line-up of Arya Kanya Vidyalaya, ensuring that the former notched up a comprehensive 90-run victory in an Inter School Cricket Tournament match, organised by the Shillong Cricket Association, at the Cricket Ground, Polo, on Tuesday.
In the other game, All Saints School defeated Jail Road Boys by seven wickets.

Ram Nakshatra Chauhan’s 44 from 42 deliveries helped his team post a total of 142/7 in 21 overs.
Vishal Balmiki took 2-27 in five overs.
Arya Kanya were incapable of mounting a serious challenge in the chase, bowled out for a measly 52 runs in 15.2 overs with Siddhart Kumar’s figures of 3-7 in 2.4 overs evidence of the poor batting.
