The second day of OCA Inter-District T20 League produced 3 centuries, 15 half-centuries, 2 five-wicket and 4 four-wicket hauls in 18 matches held at nine venues in Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Jatni and Tangi today. Fancied teams Cuttack-A, Bhubaneswar-A, Cuttack-B, Bhubaneswar-B, East Coast Railway and Rourkela registered second straight wins in respective groups.
The three centuries were scored by Biplab Samantray (Cuttack-A), Gourav Choudhury (Kendrapara) and Aditya Rout (Koraput). The five-wicket hauls were claimed by Debasish Kanda (Balangir) and Manoj Kashyap (Kendrapara).
Koraput allrounder Aditya Rout was most impressive as well as most unlucky performer of the day. He was the top scorer with a dazzling knock of 142 and also picked up two wickets. But his superb efforts went in vain as Koraput lost to Khordha by a narrow margin of five runs.
