Amritsar,
\nPunjab got off to a poor start in their Ranji Trophy tie against Bengal here today. Electing to bat, the hosts were bowled out for a paltry 147. The visitors, in reply, were 76 for no loss at the close of play.<\/p>\n
On a sunny day, the Punjab batsmen struggled against the new ball. Except for a promising Shubman Gill, who scored a scintillating 63, no other batsman showed the discipline to negotiate the Bengal attack.<\/p>\n
Medium pacer B Amit (3\/31) and left-arm spinner Pradipta Pramanik (3\/41) were the wreckers-in-chief for the visitors. Complementing the good work done by their bowlers, the Bengal openers, Abhishek Raman (42*) and Abhimanyu Easwaran (33*) ensured Punjab finished the day without picking up a wicket.<\/p>\n
New Delhi: Rishabh Pant and Nitish Rana resurrected Delhi\u2019s innings after initial setbacks, helping the side finish the day at 260\/4. Maharashtra had Delhi in a spot of bother by reducing them to 55\/3, but Pant (99) and Rana (110*) pulled the side out of trouble. Pant smashed six sixes in his 110-ball knock. He was caught in the slips off Chirag Khurana just one run short of his ton. Rana, however, went on to complete his century. \u201cWe have a great understading off the field too,\u201d Pant said about his equation with Rana. \u201cThat explains why we have been involved in so many partnerships.\u201d Only 62 overs could be bowled due to weather interruptions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
