Orissa`s winning run was disrupted when the state suffered a 113-run defeat at the hands of Jharkhand in their third league match of the East Zone Vinoo Mankad Trophy (u-19) Cricket Tournament at Cuttack today.
A half-century each by Babul and Raju Kumar and a fourw-wicket haul by Prakash Seet helped Jharkhand clinch the emphatic win, which fetched them five points, while Orissa conceded one point. As many as five Orissa batsmen failed to open their account.
