Senapati slams 179 in drawn match vs Himachal

Odisha got off to a morale-boosting start in the Dr (Capt) K Thimmappiah Memorial Cricket Tournament, gaining three points by virtue of taking a 24-run first-innings lead against Himachal Pradesh in their opening four-day match (Zone-A), which ended in a draw at KSCA Alur Silver Oval in Karnataka today.

Odisha took the lead by mustering 422, in reply to a first-innings total of 398 by Himachal Pradesh. After conceding the lead, Himachal Pradesh declared their second innings at 253 for eight and set an impossible target of 230 for Odisha to win the match out-right.
