Spartans, Football team

Coimbatore (Tamil Nadu) [India], June 14 : The Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) match between Chepauk Super Gillies and Salem Spartans on Tuesday witnessed something really bizarre as the Spartans skipper Abhishek Tanwar conceded a total of 18 runs on the final delivery of the innings.In the final over of the innings, with the scoreboard reading 19.5 overs, Tanwar delivered a no-ball, which gave an extra run to the opposition. The next delivery was smashed by R Sanjay Yadav for a massive six over deep midwicket, but it turned out that Abhishek had overstepped again!Sanjay took two runs on the next delivery, but extras once again boosted his team's total as it was yet another no-ball by Tanwar, making it 11 runs without a legal delivery being bowled.The next delivery bowled by Tanwar was a wide, making it 12 runs without bowling a legal delivery.Tanwar's next attempt was a yorker-length delivery and finally, a legal delivery. But Sanjay hit a six over the deep-midwicket region, to make it 18 in one delivery!The skipper gave away 26 runs in the final over and CSG finished at 217/5 in their 20 overs. Opener Pradosh Ranjan Paul (88 in 55 balls with 12 fours and a six) and skipper Narayan Jagadeesan (35 in 27 balls with four boundaries and a six) gave a good start to their side with a 91-run opening stand and Sanjay's 31* in 12 balls in death overs helped CSG reach a huge total.Tanwar gave away 44 runs in his four overs and took a wicket. His economy rate was 11.00. Akash Sumra (0/42) was another bowler who leaked runs at an economy rate of 14.The extras conceded by Tanwar proved to be costly as the Spartans felt the scoreboard pressure heavy.
