S Badrinath (90) and Rahul Dravid (63) hit sparkling half-centuries to guide Indian Cements to a 25-run victory over BSNL in a rain-delayed Group D match of the BCCI Corporate Cup here tonight.
Put into bat, the Dravid-led India Cements posted 253 for five in 47 overs and then returned to restrict their opponents to 228 for nine to stay in contention for a semifinal berth.
BSNL, who had lost to Air India Red yesterday, crashed out of contention with their second successive defeat.
The telecom men faltered early in their chase and despite a fighting 51 from Anshul Kapoor and Joginder Sharma's 30-ball 34, BSNL never really looked in chase.
Earlier, Indian Cements also struggled to get going before Badrinath (90 off 108 balls) and Dravid (63 off 77 balls) rescued them and then Suresh Kumar came up with a 42-run cameo off 40 balls to raise the tally.
