Tamil Nadu v Uttar Pradesh – http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kumar-Shri-Ranjitsinhji-c71870 Trophy, 2012/13 (Group B) – Match Update – UP claim massive 195-run win
Spinners Praveen Gupta and Ali Murtaza bowled http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chemplast-c778 Ground in Chennai.
UP won the toss and chose to bat first, and the efforts of Tamil Nadu’s Malolan Rangarajan (46-12-107-4) and Aushik http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Srinivas-c2564 (32-5-107-2) eventually went in vain, as the UP batsmen put forth a solid display, to get the team up to a sizeable first innings
total. The innings was driven almost entirely by centurion http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Kaif-c77040 (68) and Prashant Gupta (57), both of whom chipped in with vital half-tons. Combined, their performances
enable UP to reach 392 before they were all out.
Murtaza (25.5-4-80-7) delivered substantially with the ball as well, and aided by Ankit Rajpoot (15-6-29-2) and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/M-Vijay-c1867 top-scored for the team with 42,
while http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ramaswamy-Prasanna-c83808 (31) were the only other batsmen who managed to put forth competitive performances. However, their combined efforts were not enough to propel the team towards a high score.
UP maintained their dominant stance during their second innings, and Aushik Srinivas (16.3-3-37-4), Sunil Sam (11-1-27-3), and Malolan Rangarajan (17-1-56-2) were unable to keep an effective check on the opposition’s batsmen. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mukul-Dagar-c2034 (65) remained the
top-contributor, while Umang Sharma (41), http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tanmay-Srivastava-c2642 (27) chipped in with small scores, and the team worked their way up to 207 before they were all out.
The resulting final target of 421 proved too much for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/S-Imtiaz-Ahmed-c87494 (6-1-24-2) succeeded in keeping their opponents well out of range of the target. Arun Karthik (70) and Abhinav
Mukund (54) were the only batsmen who succeeded in putting up a fight. The remainder of the batting order failed to step up to the challenge, and Tamil Nadu were eventually bowled for 225, with Uttar Pradesh going on to claim a comprehensive 195-run win.
