Warriors
to
reach
the
semi-finals
in
the
ongoing
Celebrity
Cricket
League.
The
Sudeep-headed
team
won
the
match
on
Sunday
at
the
Heavy
Engineering
Corporation
International
Cricket
Stadium
Complex,
Ranchi
by
40
runs.
Telugu
Warriors
had
won
the
toss
and
decided
to
field
first.
But
the
Karnataka
team
proved
their
decision
to
field
wrong
as
it
got
a
flying
start.
Though
Karnataka
Bulldozers
lost
the
wicket
of
opener
Rajeev
early,
SP
Manjunath
and
Dhruv
played
well
to
add
90
runs
partnership
for
the
second
wicket.
The
good
partnership
came
to
an
end
with
Telugu
warriors
bowler
Adarsh
getting
SP
Manjunath
clean
bowled.
Captain
Kiccha
Sudeep
did
not
last
long
in
the
crease
as
he
lost
his
wicket
for
two
runs.
However,
the
foundation
that
Manjunath
and
Dhruv
laid
helped
the
Karnataka
Bulldozers
to
end
the
innings
with
huge
171
runs.
Aditya
was
the
pick
among
the
bowlers
as
he
took
two
wickets
for
21
runs
in
three
overs
and
opening
bowler
Raghu
turned
out
to
be
an
expensive
bowler
with
Karnataka
Bulldozers
scoring
38
runs
from
his
four
overs.

Giri,
who
came
second

tried
to
show
some
aggression
but
he
too
could
not
survive
long
as
he
could
only
score
14
of
