Odisha suffered their first defeat in the BCCI Mens U-23 State A Trophy One-Day Tournament, losing to Jammu & Kashmir by eight wickets in their second Elite Group-B match at Darshanam Sports & Education Academy in Vadodara, Gujarat today. Batting failure was the main reason for the crushing defeat.
Put into bat, Odisha were bundled out for 104 in 26.1 overs. Captain Om T Munde was the only batter to show some resistance, hitting a 47-ball 32. In reply, Jammu-Kashmir rode on an unbeaten 74 by Basit Nazir to overhaul the modest target in 21.2 overs, losing only wickets.
Soumya Ranjan Lenka claimed both the wickets for Odisha. Earlier, Odisha won their opening match against Goa by seven wickets. They will next meet Jharkhand at Darshanam Sports & Education Academy in Vadodara on November 13.
