BHUBANESWAR 29-Nov-2018
Valiant century by Ayush Naik went in vain as hosts Odisha lost to Kerala by an innings and 138 runs on the fourth and last day of their Cooch Behar Trophy U-19 Elite Group-C match at Veer Surendra Sai Stadium in Sambalpur today.
Choosing to bat after winning the toss, Kerala rode on an unbeaten triple century by captain Vathsal Govind Sharma and a double century by Ashwin Anand to declare their first innings at 651 for five. Biswajit Mallick was most successful Odisha bowler, taking three wickets for 185 runs.
In reply, Odisha made 330 thanks to a stroke-filled knock of 116 (224 balls, 20x4) by Ayush Naik. Forced to follow on after conceding a first-innings lead of 321 runs, Odisha folded up for 183 in the second innings. The innings victory fetched Kerala seven points, while Odisha drew blank.
