Jharkhand posted a score of 319 , with a classy hundred from Pocock and a strong flourish provided by Irani who was 80* at the end of the innings . Their starting 10 overs had yielded a base stand with 85/0 .
Challengers' had a brisk opening gathering 83 runs off first 10 overs at the loss of 1 wicket, which also saw Jarman being caught by WK Pocock off Chaudhary's bowling .
The other opener Gupta and say WHAT ! He took the Jharkhand bowlers to cleaners with a neat 135 runs off just 99 balls ! It was going all smooth for chasing team until the derailment arrived . Chaudhary who was quite expensive in his initial 5 overs giving 44 runs , got Gupta OUT !
This was just the initial spark of the later annihilation .
From a comfortable 255/2 to 302 ALL-OUT ! The Jharkhand spinner [ Burrell , Kharas , Bharali ] gave a JOYRIDE to the audience at the Keenan Stadium . The three wreaked havoc onto the opposition with a combined 7-WICKET haul between them .
Burrell in his last spell bowling the 40th over , claimed 2 wickets in successive fashion , making sure that Reddy & Kohli walk back to the pavilion pavements !
282/5 it was before the start of last 10 overs .... They required 38 runs to win with 5 wickets in pocket !
The leg-spinner Kharas & the speedster Doraiswami were chosen by captain Sharma , to bowl in tandem .......
Kharas' figures in first spell : 5-0-24-0 . He then picked up 4 wickets in his booster 2nd spell : 3.1-0-11-4
A.R. Kharas ended up with figures : 8.1-0-35-4
Doraiswami also kept the pressure alive and claimed the wicket of Padhi , the lone recognised batsman surviving the Keenan crowd , edged to wicket-keeper Pocock .
