    Punjab scored 112 runs in the post-lunch session and lost two wickets before Naman Dhir scored his second first-class century. While the visiting team is at 264-2 - still trailing by 39 runs - the onus is now on the settled Dhir (130 not out, 178b) and captain Mandeep Singh (7 not out, 40b) to ensure that there are no further slip-ups.

    Prabhsimran Singh, who scored his third first-class hundred (126, 158b) forged an opening partnership of 212 runs with Dhir before Parth Bhut got the breakthrough. Attempting a slog sweep, Prabhsimran got a top edge, and Chetan Sakariya made no mistake at the long on. As a dejected Prabhsimran walked back, his stupendous innings earned him a standing ovation from the team-mates.

    Punjab lost its second wicket quickly as debutant Pukhraj Mann, coming in for Abhishek Sharma, fell for a solitary run. Surprised by the extra bounce of a Yuvrajsinh Dodiya delivery, the youngster was caught at silly point by Snell Patel.

    But Dhir stood firm and scored his century and forged a partnership with captain Mandeep.

    ANDHRA 379 ALL OUT vs MADHYA PRADESH

  • February 01, 2023 12:06
    PUNJAB 152/0 VS SAURASHTRA 303 - LUNCH

    Prabhsimran Singh scored his third first-class hundred (102 not out, 118b) to guide Punjab to 152-0 at lunch on Day Two of the Ranji Trophy quarterfinals against Saurashtra.

    On a surface that had little help for the bowlers, Prabhsimran forged a 152-run opening stand with the young Naman Dhir, who scored 50 off 86 deliveries to ensure that Punjab dominated the session.

    Resuming the day at 3-0, both Prabhsimran and Dhir came out with an aggressive mindset and played quality shots to put the pressure on the Saurashtra bowlers. In the absence of Jaydev Unadkat, Chirag Jani and Chetan Sakariya failed to make an impact as Prabhsimran cut and drove fluently.

    Initially, Prabhsimran hit a flurry of boundaries, while Dhir held fort at the other end. But as the day progressed, he also stepped up and hit four boundaries and a couple of sixes to put his team in the driver’s seat.

    Saurashtra had pinned its hopes on Dharmendrasinh Jadeja, but the seasoned campaigner failed to make a mark as Prabhsimran hammered him for fours at will.

    The 22-year-old Prabhsimran started his Ranji Trophy campaign this season with a 202 against Chandigarh and scored 55 against Tripura in the third game. Thereafter, he had scores of 43, 4, 20, 31, 13. But he delivered when it mattered most for his team.

    Day 1 Recap - Saurashtra vs Punjab

    Parth Bhut walked out to bat when Saurashtra was reeling at 147 for 7. To make matters worse, the team lost another wicket - of Snell Patel (70, 131b, 11x4) - even before Bhut could settle down.

    But the 24-year-old from Junagadh kept his calm, showed intent and went on to score his maiden first-class century (111 n.o., 155b, 11x4, 4x6), guiding Saurashtra to 303 against Punjab in a Ranji Trophy quarterfinals clash at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium on Tuesday.

    Day 1 Recap - Karnataka vs Uttarakhand

    Speedster M. Venkatesh capped his First Class debut with a fine five-wicket haul (14-3-36-5) as Karnataka established a stranglehold on Uttarakhand on day one of the Ranji Trophy quarterfinal at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Tuesday.

    Venkatesh found a place in the eleven only because V. Koushik was diagnosed with a back spasm on the morning of the match. But the pacer from Mysuru, who hails from a family with a deep interest in Carnatic classical music and also dabbled in it when young, buzzed around all innings to help dismiss Uttarakhand for a paltry 116.

    By stumps, Karnataka openers R. Samarth (54 batting, 74b, 7x4) and Mayank Agarwal (65 batting, 86b, 9x4, 1x6) had wiped out Uttarakhand’s total and secured a seven-run lead.
