Andhra
Pradesh
vs
Madhya
Pradesh:

Despite

Hanuma
Vihari’s
courageous
display
with
a
broken
hand,
Andhra
suffered
a
defeat
at
the
hands
of
Madhya
Pradesh.
Andhra
had
a
151-run
lead
at
the
end
of
their
first
inning,
but
collapsed
for
just
93
runs
in
their
second
to
give
MP
the
advantage.
Chasing
245,
Yash
Dubey
(58)
and
Rajat
Patidar
(55)
steered
the
MP
ship
in
the
right
direction
as
they
completed
a
5-wicket
win
in
Indore.

Uttarakhand
vs
Karnataka:

Uttarakhand’s
adventure
in
the
Ranji
Trophy
came
to
an
end
in
an
unceremonious
manner
as
they
got
drubbed
by
Karnataka.
Muralidhara
Venkatesh’s
five-wicket
haul
wrapped
the
Uttarakhand
first
inning
just
for
116
runs.
In
reply,
Karnataka
amassed
a
massive
606
runs,
courtesy
of
Shreyas
Gopal,
who
was
the
star
with
the
bat
as
he
scored
161
runs.
Devdutt
Padikkal
(69),
Mayank
Agarwal
(83),
Nikin
Jose
(62)
and
Ravikumar
Samarth
(82)
–
all
the
top
four
batters
of
them
scored
50+
runs.
In
the
second
inning,
Uttarakhand
suffered
another
batting
catastrophe
as
they
managed
only
209
runs.
Shreyas
Gopal
was
adjudged
player
of
the
match.

Saurashtra
vs
Punjab:

A
clinical
display
by
Saurashtra
has
taken
them
to
the
penultimate
hurdle
of
a
Ranji
season
yet
again.
Parth
Bhut’s
excellent
hundred
(111)
took
them
to
303
runs
in
the
first
inning.
Punjab,
with
a
fantastic
start,
scored
431
runs
in
their
first
time
with
the
bat.
Prabhsimran
Singh
(126)
and
Naman
Dhir
(131)
both
scored
centuries
while
captain
Mandeep
Singh
(91)
also
played
a
valiant
knock.

Despite
being
60/4
at
one
stage,
Saurashtra
managed
to
score
379
runs
in
their
second
innings.
Punjab,
chasing
a
target
of
252
to
book
a
semi-final
spot,
collapsed
in
their
second
innings.
Parth
Bhut
turned
provider
with
the
ball
this
time
as
he
ran
through
the
Punjab
batters
with
a
five-for,
getting
Punjab
bowled
out
at
180
runs.

Parth
was
the
standout
performer
as
he
scored
162
runs
in
the
match
and
picked
up
8
wickets.
