Correct answer: C. scored; despite

The sentence becomes:

"The team scored more than 300 runs in 20 overs despite rains. However, some players needed to improve their batting skills."

Why?

  • The sentence needs a main verb, so scored is correct. Scoring would make the sentence incomplete.
  • Despite means "in spite of" and is the appropriate connector here.
