CUTTACK 05-Jan-1958
Bengal mauled Orissa by an innings and 99 runs on the second day of their three-day East Zone Ranji Trophy match at Barabati Stadium in Cuttack today. Playing with new captain Ram Prakash Kapoor and wicket-keeper Brajendra Kishore Das made no difference as Orissa continued their horrible performance in the tournament.
Kapoor replaced Lalat Indu Parija, while Das came in place of T Ram Sastry. Kapoor, of course, did well with the bat, top scoring in both the innings with unbeaten 43 and 18. S Mushtaq Ali and R K Rath, along with stumper Das made their first-class debut in this match for Orissa.
After restricting Orissa, who chose to bat after winnin the toss, Bengal rode on a century by captain Pankaj Roy to compile 307, which gave them a first-innings lead of 168 runs. In the second innings, Orissa were bowled out for 69.
NN Swamy, however, put up impressive performance with the ball for Orissa, bagging six wickets for 58 runs. The emphatic win fetched Bengal nine points, while host Orissa drew blank.
