Fans at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore, witnessed a supporting wicket where the bowlers and the batsmen had equal opportunities to exhibit their talents on the first day of the Group B match between Karnataka and Delhi in the ongoing http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kumar-Shri-Ranjitsinhji-c71870 Trophy.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Karnataka-c801, who chose to bat, had a disappointing start as they lost their first wicket with only four runs on the board.
This was followed by the demise of their second batsman when, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ganesh-Satish-c58368, fell after scoring 12 runs. By this time, the batting side had posted 33 runs on the board.
KL Rahul was then joined by MK Pandey and the two batsmen led their side to 41 runs before this partnership also faltered on the demise of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rahul-c83321, who fell after scoring eleven runs.
MK Pandey was then the next to fall as he was removed by Narwal after scoring only eight runs. At the time of this wicket, the batting side had managed to reach 51 runs.
They then lost another wicket when KR http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rajinder-Singh-Bisht-c83586 off Bhatia after scoring only 11 off 41.
This gradual loss of wickets was getting out of hand, as the batting side needed to regroup before hitting rock bottom.
However, with the top batsmen already back in the pavilion – this was easier said than done – as the situation looked bleak for them.

STR Binny was the alpha batsman from his side as he smacked an impressive knock of 61 runs off 113 deliveries.
Skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Vinay-Kumar-c2237, then stood defiant for 28 runs as he helped his side close their innings with 192 on the board.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780’s P Awana was the top bowler on the opening day, as he grabbed five wickets in 21 overs.
They then hammered 44 runs for the loss of two wickets at stumps.
