CUTTACK 22-Feb-2019
Haryana registered a hard-fought 10-run win over hosts Odisha in their Group-D match of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Senior Men T20 Tournament at Barabati Stadium here today. This was the second defeat for Odisha who will next meet Mizoram at DRIEMS Ground, Tangi on February 24.
Put into bat by Odisha captain Subhransu Senapati, Haryana mustered a competitive total of 141 and then restricted Odisha to 131 for five. Despite the defeat, Odisha found many positives from the match. Spinner Pappu Roy and pacer Suryakant Pradhan scalped three wickets each, while Rajesh Dhuper effected four dismissals behind the stumps.
In the Odisha innings, Biplab Samantaray hit a breezy 48, while Aravinda Singh remained unbeaten on 34. Samantaray slammed five sixes in his 28-ball knock and put on 79 runs for the fifth-wicket partnership with Aravinda Singh.
Meanwhile, Odisha Cricket Association made two changes in the 15-member state team, replacing Govinda Poddar and Sarbeswar Mohanty with Shantanu Mishra and Prayas Kumar Singh for their next three matches, which would be played against Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh and Assam.
