Ranji Trophy Semi Final Highlights Day 4, Bengal Vs Madhya Pradesh, Saurashtra Vs Karnataka:
Karnataka started day 3 on the front foot but was put under pressure by Jackson and Vasavda’s partnership of 232 runs for the fourth wicket. Apart from Vidwath Kaverappa’s two early wickets, the bowling of Karnataka looked lack lustred. Vasuki Koushik and off-spinner Krishanppa Goutham picked up a wicket each.
Elsewhere in the other semifinal in Indore, Bengal would look to score some quick runs on Day 4 and would be looking to put hosts to bat again and finish the game. Earlier on Day 3 Madhya Pradesh was bundled for 170 runs and Bengal decided to bat again. At the end of the day’s play, the visitors were 59-2 with Sudip Kumar Gharami 12(40) and Anustup Majumdar 9(50) at the crease. Akash Deep picked up five wickets for Bengal and was the wrecker-in-chief. Madhya Pradesh couldn’t put up much of a show with the bat on a flat track. Apart from Sarnash Jain’s 69, there haven’t been any significant contributions from the other batters.
