CUTTACK 11-Dec-1966
Host Bihar thrashed Orissa by nine wickets in their three-day Ranji Trophy East Zone match, which ended with a day to spare at Keenan Stadium in Jamshedpur today. With this win, Bihar avenged the first defeat they had suffered against Orissa last year at Barabati Stadium, Cuttack. This was also Bihar’s eighth win in 12 Ranji Trophy matches against Orissa.
Bihar won half of their latest encounter by taking a first-innings lead of 155 runs. In reply to Orissa’s modest total of 184, which included an unbeaten 49 by Sanjay Satpathy, Bihar rode on a century by stumper Daljit Singh and a half-century each by Kalyan Mitter and Ramesh Saxena to compile an imposing total of 339.
In the second innings, Orissa declared at 213 for nine, leaving an easy tartet of 59 runs for Bihar to win the match. It was surprising that Orissa chose to declare their second innings without sending debutant R K Bhave to bat. The home team clinched victory, losing the wicket of their captain Rajendranath Sanyal.
