Assam pipped by Kerala for semi-final spot:
Guwahati, Dec 12: Assam failed to take the first-innings lead against Tripura in their Ranji Plate Division Group A league match on the fourth and final day at Nehru Stadium here on Wednesday, which resulted to Kerala pipping them by one point for a semi-final berth.
Resuming on 245 for four, Assam needed 216 runs on the final day to surpass Tripura’s first innings 460, but were all out for 410 with Tushar Saha removing overnight not out batsmen Palashjyoti Das and Sridharan Sharath.
The hosts were kept in the hunt by Sadagopan Ramesh, who made an unbeaten 161-ball 101.
Dhiraj Goswami hung around for 105 balls for his 16, as along with Ramesh he added 91 for the seventh wicket. But, all these were not enough as Assam fell short by 50 runs.
Tripura got three points by virtue of their first innings’ lead but still finished last in the group with 11 points while Assam collected one point from the drawn match to swell their total point to 12 and had to be content with third place.
In Surat, Kerala collected five points by virtue of an outright win against Gujarat, who have already qualified for the semi-final from Group A with 22 points from four matches, by nine wickets to aggregate 13 points and book the second semi-final spot from the group.
A simple first innings lead for Assam against Tripura would have ensured them three points from the match and a berth in the semi-finals.
Brief Scorecard:
Tripura 460 (Nishit Shetty 165; Tushar Saha 73 not out; Rajib Saha 66; Krishna Das 5/140) drew with Assam 410 (Palashjyoti Das 114; Sadagopan Ramesh 101 not out; Sridharan Sharath 71; Tushar Saha 4/114)

Ranji Plate Group A Match
Mammoth task ahead for Assam against Tripura:
Guwahati, Dec. 10: A career best five-wicket haul by Assam pacer Krishna Das failed to restrain Tripura from setting a big first innings target before the hosts today.
Tripura piled up 460 runs against the hosts on the second day of their Ranji Trophy Plate Group A tie being played at Nehru Stadium here.
In reply, Assam, who need a first innings lead to ensure a semi-final berth, were 68 for one in 30 overs at draw of stumps.
Resuming at an overnight score of 285 for four off 92 overs, the visitors this morning lost Mumbai professional Nishit Shetty off the third ball of a Krishna Das delivery in the very second over of the day.
Shetty could add just one run to his overnight 164 before being bowled out by Das to put an end to a 148-run fifth wicket partnership with Timir Chanda.
Chanda, however, took up the reins of the Tripura innings and shared two more partnerships with wicket-keeper Rajiv Dutta (22) and southpaw Tushar Saha to put up an individual score of 72 runs before being bowled out by paceman Mrigen Talukdar. Chanda’s 236-ball knock comprised seven hits to the fence.
After Chanda’s dismissal, Saha continued to anchor the innings and shared a last wicket partnership of 82 runs with Jayanta Debnath (36, 5x4) to take the Tripura innings beyond lunch.
Tushar Saha remained unbeaten on 73, slamming 11 fours and a huge six over the boundary.
Krishna Das today accounted for the dismissals of Shetty, Abhijit Dey and Debnath to add to yesterday’s two wickets of Bappa Das and Rajiv Saha.
Spinner Arlen Konwar claimed two wickets for 112 runs to join the100 wicket takers’ club in first class cricket. He is the first spinner from Assam to achieve the feat.
Chasing the huge target, Assam started trying with the fifth opener of the season in the form of under-22 all-rounder Gokul Sharma, who replaced injured S Suresh for the match, with Palashjyoti Das at the other end.
Though the openers started cautiously, Sharma was caught in the slips by Rajiv Saha off a Debnath turner for 13 (2x4).
Palashjyoti Das was batting on 35 (5x4) and Tarjinder Singh on 10 (1x4) at the close of the day’s play.
Brief Scorecard:
Assam 68 for 1 (Palashjyoti Das 35 batting; Tarjinder Singh 10 batting) trail Tripura 460 (Nishit Shetty 165; Timir Chanda 72; Tushar Saha 73 not out; Krishna Das 5/140; Dhiraj Goswami 2/76; Arlen Konwar 2/112) by 392 runs

Ranji Trophy Plate Group A Match
Assam vs Tripura:
Guwahati, Dec. 7: Host Assam’s morale is running high after registering back-to-back wins against Kerala in Silchar and Services during the last two weeks.
The team will now look for an outright win against Tripura to be invincible in second place in the group tally with 16 points.
Tripura, however, will be no pushovers, after registering a four-wicket win against Kerala in Agartala this week.
The crucial Ranji Trophy Plate Group A four-day league match will be held at Nehru Stadium in Guwahati from Sunday.
Assam has 11 points and Tripura eight from four matches each.
Assam need only three points by virtue of a first innings lead from a drawn encounter to seal their berth in the knockouts.
Gujarat lead the group A tally with 22 points from four matches and meet Kerala -- with eight points -- in Ahmedabad from Sunday.
Orissa eliminated Assam in the semifinals last year at Barabati Stadium in Cuttack.
Assam have flown in Bangalore professional left arm spinner Anand Katti to replace Tamil Nadu recruit all-rounder S. Suresh in the match. Suresh had injured his finger in the last match against Services. The Assam Cricket Association will name the state squad for the match tomorrow.
Sources said barring Katti replacing Suresh, there would hardly be any change in the winning combination. The playing XI will have Krishna Das and Mrigen Talukdar as medium pacers and Katti and Arlen Konwar as the spinners. Katti’s inclusion will reinforce the spin attack. “Arlen Konwar will now be able to bowl without pressure, with Katti as a back-up,” said team manager Umananda Bora.
With Suresh out of the squad, either Saurav Bhagawati or Souvik Das will make the cut as a top order batsman and the fifth bowler for the team will be either Bichitra Baruah or Dhiraj Goswami. Tripura, on the other hand, have a promising batting line-up comprising Timir Chanda, Kishore Muhuri, Rajib Dutta, Rajesh Banik and Subal Chowdhury, who would definitely look forward to the batting track of the Nehru Stadium wicket with a fast outfield for some handsome scores.
The toss will once again play a vital role even after the Assam team management has, this time, impressed upon the ground committee to prepare a sporty track after surviving a scare on a purely batting track in the earlier match against Services.

Ranji Plate Division Match
Assam on back foot against Services:
Guwahati, Dec 1: Poor fielding forced Asom to the back foot on the first day of the four-day Ranji Trophy Plate Group tie against Services at the Nehru Stadium on Saturday.
Electing to bat first and riding on a fine century by Tahir Khan, Services scored 272 for the loss of five wickets when stumps were drawn for the day.
The match is a crucial for Asom as they need a win to stay in the competition. But poor fielding, particularly in the first session, pushed the home team on the back foot on the first day.
Unless the remaining five wickets of the Services are the wiped off early on Sunday, it could be very difficult for Assam to earn full points from the match.
Tahir Khan, who opened the innings for Services, produced a splendid knock of 142 runs, which helped his side strongly placed at the draw of stumps on the first day.
Tahir’s 142 came off 254 balls with 19 boundaries. Tahir was also involved in two good partnerships with captain Yashpal Singh and vice captain Jasvir Singh during his stay at the wicket. Tahir and Yashpal added 83 runs for the fourth wicket while his partnership with Jasvir for the third wicket was worth 72 runs.
Of the five wickets that fell today, Krishna Das and Arlen Konwar bagged two wickets each while S Suresh picked up one.
Assam had so far played three matches. The team lost the first match against Gujarat and drew with Vidarbha in the second. Asom defeated Kerala in their last group match to earn full points from the game.
Brief Scorecard: Services 272 for 5 in 88.1 overs (Tahir Khan 142; Yashpal Singh 40; Krishna Das 2/42; Arlen Konwar 2/71)
Assam team: S Sarath (capt), Nishanta Bordoloi (vice-capt), Sadagopan Ramesh, S Suresh, Tajinder Singh, Palasyjyoti Das, Rajdeep Das (wk), Dhiraj Goswami, Bichitra Baruah, Arlen Konwar, Krishna Das, Mrigen Talukdar, Sourav Bhagawati, Souvik Das, Touhid Ali Talukdar, Bitop Mahanta.
