Three five-wicket hauls headline day 4 of Under-19 One Day as Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka and Bengal win big

Under-19 One Day trophy on Friday (October 1). On a day that saw Delhi, Bengal, Chattisgarh, Pondicherry, Mumbai, Madhya Pradesh, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh register wins, several matches were affected by rain and five of them were abandoned without a ball being bowled.

While Group A match between Gujarat and Vidarbha was called off without a ball being bowled, in the same group Uttar Pradesh beat Assam by 49 runs in a rain-reduced encounter.  A quick-fire 41 by Falak Naz led Uttar Pradesh to 126 for 6 in the first innings. In reply, Assam could not chase down the target and eventually finished on 77 for eight. In the other Group A match, Mumbai restricted Hyderabad to 73 for eight as defending 93, courtesy of Savesharvi Suhas’ three-wicket haul.

In the Group B match at VCA Stadium in Nagpur, Bengal were reduced to 19 for seven while batting first before a partnership between wicket-keeper Hrishita Basu and Srilekha Roy led them to a competitive total of 130. After a strong opening partnership, Goa collapsed and could only score 68 runs. In another Group B match, Delhi bowled Jharkhand out for 107 on the back of a five-fer by Mitali. Pondicherry chased down the target of 152 set up by Tamil Nadu in the penultimate over as Roshini R scored an unbeaten half-century in the chase.

Madhya Pradesh thumped Haryana to register an 81-run win in Group C as Soumya Tiwari took five wickets. Kerala and Chattisgarh also won their clashes against Baroda and Bihar respectively. All the matches scheduled to play in Surat from Group D were abandoned.

Muskan Sogi continued her form with the ball for Punjab as she took a five-wicket haul to skittle Tripura for 61 all out. Himachal could not last long against Karnataka as they were bowled out for 96. Karnataka chased it down with eighth wickets in hand in the 26th over.
