Bengal vs Vidarbha, Group D - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

An outright victory with a bonus point takes Vidarbha to the top of the tree with 21 points in Group (D). Skipper Faiz Fazal along with Sanjay Ramaswamy set the tone with a mammoth opening stand which helped them post a big score in the first innings. They were equally backed up by their bowlers to get the hosts knocked out for 207 on a wicket that didn't have much for the bowlers. Second innings wasn't any different for Bengal, as they continued to struggle with the bat until the partnership between Wriddhiman Saha and Sudip Chatterjee for the fifth wicket (148). Runout of Saha was surely the turning point today, just when Vidarbha's shoulders were dropping. A little partnership between Aamir Gani and Kanishk Seth ensured Vidarbha came out to bat again. Sanjay Ramaswamy, who is the player of the match ensured it didn't take long for them to close it out. So that's it from all of us in this round. Do join us for the next enounter which will start on 17th of November. Ta Ta!
