Haryana Cricket Association and the National Cricket Academy moved into the final of KSCA’s All-India invitational cricket tournament defeating KSCA Colts by 170 runs and the KSCA President’s XI by eight wickets, respectively, in the semi-finals that concluded here Sunday.

A fighting century by Shishir Bhavane (105, 125b,11×4, 3×6) went in vain as the Colts were bundled out for 228 in their second innings as Haryana coasted to a comfortable victory.
