Patna: Goa defeated Bihar by 88 runs in the Vijay Hazare Trophy match played at the Alur Cricket Ground in Bangalore. Goa scored 329 runs for 6 wickets in 50 overs. In reply, Bihar were all out for 241 runs in 46.5 overs.
Bihar lost their four wickets for only 37 runs. But a fifth wicket partnership of 137 runs between Surya Vansh (63 runs, 74 balls, 5 fours, 2 sixes) and Sachin Kumar Singh (76 runs, 84 balls, 11×4) took Bihar total to a respectable position. After the fall of Surya Vansh, Bihar were once again in trouble and at that stage it was quite clear that Bihar could not win the match. However, some lusty hitting from Veer Pratap Singh raised some hopes but that could not last long as wickets were falling at the other end. Veer Pratap Singh remained unbeaten on 31 runs.
Earlier, Bihar captain Ashutosh Aman won the toss and decided to field. Batting first, Goa scored 329 runs for six wickets in 50 overs with the help of Darshan Misal’s unbeaten 107 runs (62 balls, 8×4, 5×6). Harsh Vikram Singh took two wickets for 90 runs and Ashutosh Aman took three wickets for 42 runs for Bihar.
Arjun Tendulkar, Lakshya A Garg, Darshan Misal and SD Lad took 2-2 wickets for Goa.
