Captain Subhransu Senapati hit an unbeaten century to lead Odisha to a three-wicket win over Maharashtra in their Elite Group-B league match of the Vijay Hazare Trophy One-day Cricket Tournament at SGSA Cricket Ground in Vadodara today.
Senapati hit a 130-ball unbeaten 119, which featured eight boundaries and two sixes. This was the maiden List-A century for the Odisha captain, who has played 18 matches so far in this format of the game. Chasing a stiff target of 260, Odisha romped home with five balls to spare.
Earlier electing to bat, Maharashtra rode on a half-century each by Rahul Tripathy and captain Kedar Jadhav to muster a healthy total of 259 for eight in the stipulated 50 overs. Among Odisha bowlers, speedster Suryakant Pradhan was most successful with three wickets for 50 runs, while Abhishek Raut and Govinda Poddar chipped in with a brace each.
This was the second win in three matches for Odisha, who now have eight points in their account. Odisha will next play Delhi at GSFC Cricket Ground in Vadodara on October 10.
