Ranji Trophy: Odisha Post 440, 2nd-Best Total of Season; Strong Reply By Delhi

New Delhi: Odisha posted their second-best total of the current Ranji Trophy season on Day 3 of their Elite Group D clash against Delhi.

The home team, however, gave a strong riposte to reach 187/2 at stumps, chasing Odisha’s first-innings score of 440.

Odisha resumed on 314/4 and lost Subhranshu Senapati (110) in the day’s third over. Biplab Samantaray, unbeaten on 40 overnight, then joined forces with young wicketkeeper-batsman Asshirwad Swain to build a solid partnership.

Samantaray (110) notched up his seventh first-class century and Swain made a watchful 46, with the duo stitching a 111-run partnership for the sixth wicket.

From 430/5, Odisha lost their last 5 wickets for the addition of only 10 runs as left-arm spinner Sumit Mathur (4/97) and off-spinner Himmat Singh (3/42) ran through the lower order.

Anuj Rawat (40) and Gagan Vats (66) gave Delhi a quick 67-run start before Sunil Roul castled the former. Left-handed Vats and Yash Dhull took Delhi to 144 when Roul gave Odisha a crucial breakthrough by running out Vats.

Dhull, the 2022 U-19 World Cup-winning captain, remained unbeaten on a promising 57 at stumps.
