The Chief Minister, sporting No 1 on his back, was seen making field changes, throwing down a ball and generally enjoying himself. The match was played under floodlights.
He displayed athletic ability as he raced across the field and saved a certain boundary when he used his feet to deflect the incoming ball.
Chief Justice XI, in yellow, were the first to bat. The match ended in a draw.
