A majestic stand of 172 for the opening wicket between Sandeep Pattanaik and Anurag Sarangi went in vain as Odisha lost to Haryana by five wickets in their opening Group-A match of the Vijay Hazare Trophy Inter-State One-day Tournament at Karnail Singh Stadium in New Delhi today.
Opting to bat first after winning the toss, Odisha, led by Govind Poddar, compiled a modest total of 229 in 47.5 overs. Odisha, however, failed to capitalize on the superb start and lost all 10 wickets in addition of 72 runs. Of the two openers, Sandeep Pattanaik missed out on a century by nine runs. His 121-ball knock of 91 was studded with seven boundaries and one six. Anurag Sarangi slammed a 101-ball 77, which included six fours and two sixes. Among other Odisha batsmen, only Abhishek Yadav could reach double figures.
In reply, Haryana rode on unbeaten half-century each by C Bishnoi and R Tewatia to overhaul the target in 48.2 overs, losing five wickets in the process. Captain Poddar was most successful Odisha bowler, bagging two wickets for 30 runs. The win fetched Haryana four points, while Odisha drew blank. Odisha will next meet Assam on February 28.
