"Because of the rain it was a very hard wicket to bat on that is why our batsmen struggled,” said Bhatt, who top scored for Indorwa CC with 28 runs.The second semi-final between Right Guards and Challengers was washed out after the ground was not fit for play due to heavy downpour. It was pushed to this coming Saturday.
