Captain Subhranshu Senapati continued his roaring form with an unbeaten 143 and steered Odisha to a 52-run win over Bengal in their second match of the East Zone U-23 Men’s One-day League at JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi today. This was the second straight win for Odisha and they will next meet Assam on January 27.
Electing to bat today, Odisha rode on Senapati’s 103-ball majestic knock, featuring 12 boundaries and five sixes, and his 134-run partnership for the third wicket with opener Rajesh Dhuper, to muster a healthy total of 298 for seven. Dhuper hit a 105-ball 81 with the help of eight fours and two sixes.
In reply, Bengal were restricted to 246 for seven, despite an unbeaten 106 by Suvankar Bal and 94 by T Pramanik. Debabrata Pradhan was most successful Odisha bowler, taking four wickets for 27 runs, while Subham Nayak chipped in with two for 52.
