Mokokchung, March 1 (MTNews): Day 2 of the 6th Master Shield Trophy 2022 organized by the Mokokchung District T20 Cricket Federation (MDT20CF) at Assam Rifles Ground, Mokokchung, witnessed Skylark Cricket Club and Sovran Cricket Club in action.

Renchio of Sovran contributed well with the ball as well, by picking 3 wickets, but that was not enough to deliver Sovran a win. Skylark CC won the match by 7 wickets placing Skylark’s Aloto as the Man of the Match.
