Ranji Trophy Plate Division League

Assam suffer 248 run loss to Gujarat:

Nov 6: Assam lost to Gujarat by 248 runs on the final day of the four-day Ranji Trophy Plate Division league match at Sardar Patel Gujarat Stadium at Motera near Ahmedabad today.

Gujarat’s debutant off-spinner Mohnish Parmar took five wickets in Assam’s second innings to bundle out the visitors from 158.

Resuming on overnight 15 for 2, Nishant Bordoloi and wicketkeeper Rajdeep Das defied the Gujarat bowling for nearly 20 overs but once Das was caught behind off Timil Patel, Assam's resistance broke down.

There were not too many meaningful contributions and Assam could manage only two more double-digit partnerships. Sridharan Sharath, the captain, hung around for his 27 and was the last man out, falling to medium-pacer Siddharth Trivedi.

Gujarat got five points for their efforts while Assam took none.

Gujarat 228 (DM Popat 63, Parthiv Patel 49; S Suresh 4/46, Krishna Das 4/73) and 367 for 4 declared (Nilesh Modi 151 not out, Niraj Patel 124, Parthiv Patel 62; Dhiraj Goswami 3/80, S Suresh 1/59) beat Assam 189 (Sadagopan Ramesh 43, S Suresh 25; Timil Patel 4/38, AM Makda 3/47) and 158 (Nishant Bordoloi 36, Rajdeep Das 35; Mohnish Parmar 5/52, SK Trivedi 3/28) by 248 runs
