23-Dec-1996
Match haul of 10 for 88, including a career best six for 44 by captain Sanjay Raul and half-century in each innings by Shiv Sundar Das spurred Orissa to a 188-run win over Tripura on the last day of their four-day Ranji Trophy East Zone match at Polytechnic Institute Ground in Agartala today.
This was overall 29th win in 146 Ranji Trophy matches for Orissa and 11th win in 12 matches against Tripura. Das slammed 72 as Orissa made a respectable total of 183 after opting to bat first. In reply, host Tripura were bowled out for 123 and conceded a first-innings lead of 60 runs. The off-break bowling of Raul helped him achieve his career-best success in the first innings.
Orissa set a victory target of 328 before Tripura by compiling a second-inning total of 267. The healthy total featured a half-century each by Das (53), Abakash Khatua (79) and Rashmi Ranjan Parida (50). But the target proved too big for Tripura as they were bowled out for 139 in the second innings. Among Orissa bowlers, Raul and Subash Chandra Mohanty captured four wickets apiece.
