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)

Assam vs Tripura Ranji Plate Match
Palashjyoti shines in Assam fightback:
Guwahati, Dec 11: Riding on an impressive unbeaten century by opener Palashjyoti Das, Assam put up a valiant show against Tripura on the third day of the four-day Ranji Trophy Plate Division encounter at the Nehru Stadium here on Tuesday.
Resuming their innings at the overnight score of 68 for one after Tripura had put up a total of 460 in the first innings, the hosts, at the end of the day’s play managed a total of 245 for the loss of four wickets.
Though Assam lost some early wickets in Tajinder Singh (10), Nishanta Bordoloi (16) and Mrigen Talukdar (29), the unbeaten 91-run stand between opener Palashjyoti and skipper Sridharan Sharath kept the scoreboard ticking and gave the hosts reasons to smile.
Sharath played a captain’s knock, notching up an unbeaten 52 off 133 balls, which included as many as eight hits to the fence.
But the star of the day was Palashjyoti with his unbeaten 102 off 380 balls. The opening batsman paced his innings quite well hitting the bad balls to the fence at a regular basis.
His unbeaten innings of 102 included 12 hits to the fence.
For the visitors, the pick of the bowler was left arm spinner Tushar Saha who, apart from pocketing two crucial wickets, gave away just 66 runs in his quota of 42 overs. Pacer Vineet Jain claimed one Assam batsman.
Though Assam are yet to avoid follow on, the possibility of anything as such is remote. In-form batsman Sadagopan Ramesh will come next.
Assam still trail by 215 runs as the match is heading towards a draw.
Brief Scorecard:
Assam 245 for 4 (Palashjyoti Das 104 batting; Sridharan Sharath 52 batting) trail Tripura 460 by 215 runs

Ranji Plate Division Group A Match
Assam’s Suresh to miss tie against Tripura:
Guwahati: An injury will be keeping all-rounder S Suresh, one of the most consistent performers of the Assam Ranji team this season, out of Assam’s crucial tie against Tripura starting on December 9.
One of three outstation recruits, Suresh had injured his finger while attempting a catch yesterday against Services. He missed out on all the action that saw his Tamil Nadu mates -- captain Sridharan Sharath and Sadagopan Ramesh -- bat Services out for a memorable win chasing 305 in 78 overs.
Confined to the hotel room, Suresh looked his usual self -- calm, composed and hopeful. “It is all part of the game. The stitches will be removed after seven days and in another three days I should start doing my usual stuff. The good news is that I will be fit before the semifinals, if everything goes well against Tripura,” the all-rounder said.

Assam, with 11 points, need to take a first innings lead against Tripura to join Gujarat in the semi-finals.
A draw, which fetches one point, will also keep them in the hunt. The semi-finals are scheduled between December 25 and 28.
However, Suresh’s injury has only made the job of the team think tank and the selectors that much harder. He has 12 wickets and 187 runs from six innings, third highest after Sharath (239) and Ramesh (203).

Reports from the ACA suggest that spinner Anand Katti has been sounded out for the Tripura match as the third outstation recruit.
“It is not yet final but since he can both bat and bowl, he is an option. We need a steady spinner. There is also a strong possibility of Tajinder Singh getting another chance before the big one,” one of them said.
A section feels that bringing in Katti for one match has no meaning as Suresh, if fit, will be back for the semis, if the team qualifies. Those in his favour say that he has to be sounded out as he will be the cover for all the three outstation recruits.
Sources pointed out that stress will be on strengthening the batting and that the team will remain unchanged to give the boys another chance to book their berths for the semifinals, most likely to be played at a neutral venue and against Railways.
The Ranji team will be announced tomorrow, barring last-minute changes.
“The home-bred players get one more chance. Thirty-forty runs will not be enough to ensure a seat; neither will two or three wickets do the trick. They have to consistently perform like they did yesterday against Services,” one of them said.
A couple of players have already been sounded out to perform or perish.

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.
