Nightmare continued for Odisha U-19 cricket team as they suffered fifth defeat in a row in the Cooch Behar Trophy Elite Group-C League, losing to Saurashtra by 10 wickets at Veer Surendra Sai Stadium in Sambalpur today. The four-day match ended in two days.

The hapless Odisha team, which earlier lost to Tamil Nadu, Baroda, Jammu-Kashmir and Tripura, will next meet Uttarakhand at DRIEMS Ground, Tangi, near Cuttack from 4 to 7, January, 2020.

The only positive for Odisha in the match against Saurashtra was the impressive bowling of Milan Samal and Ankitkar Jaiswal, who scalped four wickets each in the first innings, conceding 42 and 31 runs respectively.
