BHUBANESWAR 02-Mar-2019
Odisha ended their BCCI Mens U-23 One-day League campaign with a five-wicket defeat at the hands of Railways at Gokulbhai Somabhai Patel Stadium in Nadiad today. This was the eighth consecutive defeat for Odisha, who finished at the bottom of the Elite Group-B table with zero point.
Opting to bat against Railways, Odisha were dismissed for a modest 109 in 40.5 overs. Captain Debasish Samantray was the only batsman who faced the Himachal bowling attack with confidence, hiting a responsible half-century in the process. But that could not prevent Railways from winning the match with ease.
