However, the team struggling at 89/7 got a strength from tail-ender KC Cariappa who smashed 41 runs off 14 balls with six massive sixes and took the team to a respectable score. For Chandigarh, Nishunk Birla (3/40) was pick of the bowlers while Abhishek Saini and Jagjit Singh took two wickets each.
