Goa v Assam - Ranji Trophy - Group C – Day 3 – Live Score and Update
Goa 381 and 11/0 (7.0 ov) v Assam 366 - Goa lead by 26 runs with 10 wickets remaining
The four-day http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kumar-Shri-Ranjitsinhji-c71870 Trophy, Group C, match between Goa and Assam is heading for a possible draw as both teams have had a fantastic batting experience on this wicket, and it would be difficult for the bowlers from either side to give a majestic performance on the final day to grab a win at District Institute of Education and Training Ground, Porvorim.
Had the wicket supported the bowlers, a close finish might have been anticipated on the final day; however, the game is a dead-rubber now.
After getting stabbed for 381 runs by Goa, Assam made a strong comeback by bolstering 134 runs for the loss of only a wicket by stumps, on Sunday.
Resuming their innings on the penultimate day with SA Roy and AS Sinha, Assam aimed to continue their innings in a bid to overcome Goa’s lead.
The two batsmen were outstanding once again, as they neutralized the bowlers right from the get go.
After taking the score to 208, this partnership was broken by Jakati, who had Sinha trapped in front of stumps after the batman had belted a knock of 39 runs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Symonds-c44611, was then the next to find his way off the field when he was snapped up by Asnodkar after bolstering a meritorious knock of 87 runs. By this time, the batting side had posted 242 runs on the board.
Then, with Assam on 259, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rajdeep-Das-c83463, who was run out after hitting a knock of 23 runs.
Skipper DS http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tarjinder-Singh-c92849 then tried to forge some sort of a resistance against the raging bowling attack, but could take the score to only 264 runs, before Tarjinder Singh perished without opening his account.
The skipper was then joined by J Syed Mohammad as the two led their side towards 316, before the latter became the next batsman to hit the showers after belting 23 runs.
With the skipper gone for 52, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Assam-c765 later succumbed after bolstering 366 runs at the end of their first innings.
