MAPUSA: Harshad Gadekar, Shadab Jakati and Amit Yadav pick up three wickets each as Goa tormented the Tripura batting order for 174 runs on Day two of the Ranji Trophy match, taking an 86 run lead at Goa Cricket Association ground, Porvorim, Friday.
Goa resumed the day two with the scoreboard reading 231 for 8 wickets with Amit Yadav 21 (not out) and Harshad at crease. The tail-enders added another 21 runs before finishing 252 all-out.
The Tripura batting order started in the right earnest with Subharjit Roy’s stoking well on 24 runs but as soon he headed towards the dressing room, Tripura lost the momentum and wickets began falling at regular intervals.
Thirty-year old Abbas Ali did provide some resistance with a creditable 60 runs before being caught by Ravikant Shukla off Jakati’s bowling. Tripura were then bundled out for 174.
Goa started their second innings cautiously with openers Amog Desia and Swapnil Asnodkar scoring four runs. When play closed on day two, both batsmen were at crease.
