Uttar Pradesh batsman Mohammad Kaif was the lone bright spot for the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Vijay Hazare Trophy on Thursday.
Kaif scored 79* to take his team to 203/4 in reply to Rajasthan’s 202/9 at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Ground in Nagpur, handing them a six wicket win.
Back home at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore, Karnataka suffered a 62 run loss against Tamil Nadu, bowled out for 208 in 47.3 overs chasing TN’s 270. Abhimanyu Mithun did a good job taking 3/48 but found little support from his fellow bowlers. RCB’s Raju Bhatkal took 1/53 while KP Appanna went wicketless conceding 49 in his 8 overs as TN rode on a ton from Dinesh Karthik to reach 270. Mayank Agarwal only managed 10 runs in Karnataka’s reply while Mithun made 22 to make it an allround show.
Asad Pathan made just 3 runs for Gujarat in their chase of Mumbai’s 233/9 at the Wankhede Stadium. Mumbai’s bowlers managed a narrow 8 run win, keeping them to 225/9.
Not far from there, at the Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai, Cheteshwar Pujara made 17 in Saurashtra’s 2 run loss against Maharashtra. Batting first Maharashtra piled on 311/5. Saurashtra briefly threatened their score before ending on 308/9.
