A fine 134 by N.Ranjan featured Bihar's easy 94 run victory over
Tripura in the East Zone Ranji Trophy one day match at the MBB
stadium, Tripura on Thursday.
Put in to bat, Bihar made 274 for two off 50 overs. Openers Zeeshan
Ali and Ranjan put on 179 runs in 39.2 overs. Zeeshan was out for 71
for which he faced 109 balls and hit three fours. Ranjan and Rajib
Kumar then hit out while adding 50 runs for the second wicket in just
5.2 overs before Ranjan was out. He faced 150 balls and hit 15
boundaries. Rajib Kumar and S.Kumar then flogged the Tripura attack in
adding 45 runs off 5.2 overs during an unbroken third wicket
partnership.
Tripura were never in with a chance of scoring the required runs and
it was only an unbroken eighth wicket partnership of 75 runs off 16
overs between S. Roy (45) and Aditya Shukla (30) that enabled them to
reach 180 for 7 in 50 overs.
