Dehradun, December 28
Himachal Pradesh’s top and middle-order batted with purpose to bail them out from a hopeless situation, wiping out a massive deficit against Uttarakhand on Day 2 of their Ranji Trophy Group A match here today.
Uttarakhand seamer Deepak Dhapola, who returned with enviable figures of 8/35 to dismiss Himachal for 49 runs in the first innings on Tuesday, could not recreate the same magic. At stumps, Himachal were 277/4, just 10 runs away from Uttarakhand’s first-innings lead of 287 runs. Akash Vasisht and Rishi Dhawan were batting on 73 and 32, respectively.
Suryakumar shines again
In Mumbai, India’s white-ball star Suryakumar Yadav smashed 95 off 107 balls to take Mumbai to 230 all out in response to Saurashtra’s first-innings total of 289. Mumbai lost the first-innings lead but bounced back to reduce Saurashtra to 120/6 in their second innings. — PTI
