Railways v Madhya Pradesh - http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kumar-Shri-Ranjitsinhji-c71870 Trophy - Group A - Day 4 – Live Score and Update
Madhya Pradesh 377 v Railways 214 and 251 - Match drawn
The match between Railways and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Railways-c836 bat a snail paced innings on the final day of play.
Having said that, Railways also lagged in their first innings where they scored only 214 runs, and failed to avoid a follow-on against Madhya Pradesh, who posted a modest first innings score of 377.
Ending the penultimate day with 54 on the board for the loss of five wickets, things were not looking bright for Railways.
It was imperative for them to stay on the wicket till the end of the match in order to avoid an imminent defeat, and with a dead wicket at their disposal all they needed to do was to avoid the outgoing deliveries.
Meanwhile, for Madhya Pradesh, the proceedings were seemingly favourable, but they needed to give a strong performance early on in order to put Railways under pressure.
No one was expecting a draw, however, history was about to be made as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Vairamudi-Cheluvaraj-c94852 and M Rawat took the field, aiming to see off the bowlers and save the match.
They, however, flopped as with only 70 on the board, the pair played its last with V Cheluvaraj departing after bolstering a knock of 30 runs.
This was probably the last nail in their coffin, but God was on their side as the arrival of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/PM-Madkaikar-c2195 turned the tables around when the batsman forged a remarkable partnership alongside Rawat, taking the score to 218.
This was an out of this world performance by the duo, leaving the fielding side in utter disbelief. It was the moment when the game slipped out of Madhya Pradesh’s hands and was now heading towards a draw.
Finally, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Amarjeet-Singh-c43910 broke this partnership when he nabbed Rawat after the batsman had clobbered a massive knock of 106 runs.
With PM Madkaikar smashing 51, Railways finished the day on 251 for eight.
