Chümoukedima, April 16 (MExN): Wokha secured a comprehensive 5-wicket victory over Tseminyu in a low-scoring encounter during the 5th Late G. Rio Memorial Men’s U19 Inter-District Cricket Tournament, held at Nagaland Cricket Stadium in Chümoukedima on April 16.
Batting first, Tseminyu struggled against Wokha’s bowlers, managing just 77 runs before being bowled out in 31.5 overs.

In reply, Wokha chased down the target of 78 runs in 22.2 overs, losing 5 wickets along the way. The chase was anchored by Liren M Jungio (17 off 22 balls) and Shahil Uddin Laskar (17 off 44 balls), with Sokelo Semp of Tseminyu taking 3 wickets for 22 runs in 6 overs.
