Defiant half-century by Pratik Das went in vain as Odisha suffered a 10-wicket defeat at the hands of Uttar Pradesh in their four-day Col C K Nayudu Trophy U-23 Plate Group-A match at Bhamashah Park Ground in Meerut today. Host Uttar Pradesh gained seven points from this win, while Odisha drew blank.
Needing 50 runs for victory, Uttar Pradesh romped home in 8.1 overs. Earlier resuming their second innings at the overnight score of 113 for three, Odisha were all out for 242. Pratik Das was the top scorer with a 89-ball 64, which included eight boundaries and one six.
Earlier, Uttar Pradesh took a first-innings lead of 193 runs by making 415 in reply to a modest total of 222 by Odisha, who chose to bat after winning the toss. For the home team, captain Shivam Chaudhary and fellow opener Shubham Agarwal scored a century each, while Nalin Mishra and Upendra Yadav notched up a half-century apiece. Pappu Roy was most successful bowler for Odisha, taking four wickets for 102 runs.
In their first innings, Odisha captain Shantanu Mishra registered a half-century and laid a nice foundation for his team with a 115-run stand for the opening wicket with Debasish Samantray, who missed his fifty by a whisker. Besides the two openers, allrounder Debapriya Pattanayak contributed a breezy unbeaten 44. This was the first defeat in two matches for Odisha, who will next play Railways at home from October 24 to 27.
