Baroda v Tamil Nadu - http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kumar-Shri-Ranjitsinhji-c71870 Trophy - Group B - Day 1 – Live Score and Update
Baroda 191/9 (86.0 ov) v Tamil Nadu - http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tamil-Nadu-c853 won the toss and elected to field
After a disappointing outcome of last week’s fixtures, it seems like the authorities in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 finally decided to make supporting wickets as was the case at Moti Bagh Stadium, Vadodara, where the bowlers had an encouraging day, while the batsmen had to work hard to score.
With the pitch not benefitting the batsmen, the first day was made interesting as fans witnessed a nail biting competition between the bat and ball.
Baroda, who were put into bat by Tamil Nadu managed to secure an opening stand of 26, before SP Wakaskar edged a delivery off Sam after he had scored only 14 runs.
This was followed by the demise of three wickets with only 35 runs on the board, leaving Baroda in a vulnerable position.
Wicket of middle-order batsman, RK Solanki for nil was a big blow for Baroda, as they were now on the mercy of their opponents.
Meanwhile AA Waghmode’s 20-run knock did not decrease any pressure on the batting side as by this time the bowling attack had ripped through the defences of Baroda.
Skipper AT Rayudu held the bowlers from his end, but wicketkeeper/batsman PR Shah was not so lucky, as he was dismissed by Mahesh without scoring a run off ten balls.
With five batsmen back in the pavilion for 39, it was time for Baroda to salvage the innings by seeing off the bowlers, however, this was easier said than done against a very aggressive bowling attack.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ketan-Narottam-Panchal-c71053, was then the next to walk back after playing a hectic knock of 12 off 48.
SD Vohra and Rayudu then sought redemption as they led their side towards 117, before the skipper became the next casualty, losing his wicket after hammering a brilliant 54-run knock.
SD Vohra was then the last wicket to fall, as he perished with 18 runs to his name. Meanwhile, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Baroda-c769 saved their innings from crumbling on the first day as they posted 191, with MY Vahora on 45 and BA Bhatt on 23.
