Ahmedabad, January 20

Haryana came up with an all-round performance to wrap up their Ranji Trophy Group A meeting against Manipur inside two days here today, winning by an innings and 338 runs.

For Haryana, Himanshu Rana struck an unbeaten 250 that included 33 fours, while Nishant Sindhu made 119.

Resuming Day 2 on 391/3, Haryana went on to post 508/3. In reply, Manipur were bundled out for a paltry 77 in the first innings, thanks to Rahul Tewatia and Jayant Yadav, who grabbed three wickets each, with K Priyojit Singh (24 not out) being the top scorer for Manipur.

In the second innings, Manipur could only better their first-innings total by 16 runs, getting all out for 93.

Punjab taking it slow

Mohali: In Group C, Punjab finished Day 2 on 78/7 against Tripura after Day 1’s play was suspended due to poor visibility. As the visitors chose to field, it turned out to be the right decision.

So far, Punjab opener Prabhsimran Singh (21) and Nehal Wadhera (33) have been the only two to enter double figures, while for Tripura, Manisankar Murasingh and Rana Dutta have captured two wickets each.

Himachal on the ropes

Dharamsala: Baroda managed a commendable first-innings score of 482, courtesy a 345-run fifth-wicket stand between Shaswat Rawat (207) and Shivalik Sharma (188) before reducing hosts Himachal Pradesh to 143/8 by the end of the second day’s play.

Baroda are all set to take the first-innings lead but have enough time to enforce follow-on and try for bonus point.
