Ranji Trophy Plate Division League

Assam post 32-run win over Kerala:

Silchar, Nov 26: Some fine bowling by the spinner Bichitra Baruah enabled Assam to post a 32-run victory against Kerala in their Ranji Trophy Plate Division match here today.

On the final day of the four-day match at the Satindra Mohan Dev Stadium here, the Assam bowlers snapped off the Kerala tail within 12 overs as they were all out for 233. Bichitra picked up three wickets while Sauvik Das bagged one.

The visitors were in a tight situation yesterday losing six wickets for 200 after chasing a winning target of 266. P Prasanth, with an unbeaten knock of 80 yesterday, was their lone hope. But his dismissal at 83, Kerala’s hopes ended in smoke as they lost the remaining three wickets for 29 runs. NG Nair (12), S Anish (4) and P Chandran (6) were the other Kerala batsmen out today while T Yohanan remained unbeaten on 7. With today’s three wickets Bichitra’s match-haul became four for 13 in his 18-over spell. With this victory Assam gathered five points.

Ranji Trophy Plate League: Group A

Asom crawl back after batting slump:

Nov 23: Asom fought back strongly after being bowled out by Kerala for 198 runs in their first innings on the first day of the Ranji Trophy Plate Group tie which got under way at the Satindra Mohan Dev Stadium in Silchar today.

Kerala were tottering at 23 for five when the stumps were drawn for the day.

The way the wicket was behaving, as 15 wickets had gone down on the first day of the match, a result is expected. Whoever lakes a lead in the first innings should be in the driver’s seat.

Asom, which won the toss this morning, elected to bat first. But the start was not good for the home side as Souvik Das walked back to the pavilion before Asom was yet to open its account.

The damage was somewhat repaired by S Suresh and Palash Das by adding 70 runs for the second wicket. But once the partnership was broken, wickets started falling like a pack of cards.

Suresh was the top scorer for the side with 57 runs. The other notable contributors were Palashjyoti Das (23), Sadagopan Ramesh (27) and Rajdeep Das (30).

Tinu Yohannan and S Nair bagged three wickets each for Kerala.

It was Dhiraj Goswami who led Asom’s fight-back bagging three wickets for just five runs.
