Saurashtra 278 (Mankad 68, Hooda 6-61) beat Haryana 107 (Sanandia 4-44, Kushang 3-21, Unadkat 3-35) and 140 (Bishnoi 56, Jani 2-12) by an innings and 31 runs
Haryana collapsed to 140 all out on the third day in Lahli as a Cheteshwar Pujara-led Saurashtra enjoyed the unusual feeling of winning by an innings despite making less than 300 when they’d batted. The traditionally seamer-friendly conditions were on show again as Jaydev Unadkat and Chirag Jani shared the four Haryana wickets left standing and sealed Saurashtra’s victory before lunch.
Forced to follow on after being bundled out for 107 in their first innings, Haryana’s batsmen struggled once again, except Chaitanya Bishnoi – who made 56. Deepak Punia‘s resistance was snipped at 34, leaving Haryana reeling at 136 for 9. Three balls later, they were all out.
Kerala 250 for 8 (Saxena 54, Sunny 6-94) and 34 for 1 (Arun Karthik 27*, Prem 2*) beat Jharkhand 202 (Kishan 45, Saxena 6-50) and 89 (Saxena 5-27) by nine wickets
Spinners Jalaj Saxena and Karaparambil Monish shared nine wickets on the third day to hand Kerala a thumping nine-wicket win over Jharkhand in Thiruvananthapuram. Saxena shone with his all-round show, which included a 11-for the match and a half century in the first innings.
Starting their second innings with a 48-run deficit, Jharkhand collapsed from 37 for 2 to 89 all out within 42 overs, with SS Tiwary top-scoring with an unbeaten 26.
The hosts, chasing 33, lost Saxena in the third over, but B Arun Karthik and PR Prem saw off the target in five overs
