Swapnil takes five as Baroda crush Tripura

Baroda left-arm spinner Swapnil Singh took his maiden List A five-for as Tripura collapsed for a mere 58 in Delhi. Baroda lost four wickets in their chase - including three in the first three overs - but took only 37 deliveries to complete a six-wicket win.

Tripura's innings lasted only 22.2 overs as Swapnil, Irfan Pathan and Yusuf Pathan cut through the line-up. Manisankar Murasingh, the Tripura captain, was the only player to score in double-figures, reaching 10 before he was trapped lbw by Swapnil. The left-arm spinner ended with returns of 5 for 25, complemented by Irfan's 2 for 8 off four overs, and Yusuf's 3 for 24.

Tripura left-arm spinner Chiranjit Paul took 3 for 27 in Baroda's chase.

In another low-scoring Group C game, Vidarbha bundled Andhra out for 87 and then achieved the target in the 20th over with ten wickets to spare.

Put in to bat, Andhra had a poor start, and were struggling at 31 for 4 by the ninth over. The Vidarbha quicks, Umesh Yadav and Shrikanth Wagh, inflicted the early damage and, after a brief 39-run partnership between Andhra captain Prasanth Kumar and TK Ganesh Kumar, left-arm spinner Akshay Karnewar helped wrap up the innings. Prasanth's dismissal in the 21st over saw Andhra lose their last six wickets for only 17 runs, with the innings closing in the 26th over. Karnewar, playing only his fifth List A match, finished with 4 for 13, while Umesh took 3 for 16 in 5.3 overs.

Vidarbha's openers, Jitesh Sharma and Faiz struck unbeaten knocks of 47 and 44 respectively to seal the win.

Manan Sharma and Pawan Negi picked up three scalps apiece, before Dhruv Shorey and Milind Kumar stroked fifties to lead Delhi to a five-wicket victory against Maharashtra at the Feroz Shah Kotla. Maharashtra, after being inserted, were dealt blows at regular intervals by Manan (3 for 21) and Negi (3 for 38), and soon found themselves floundering at 99 for 6. Handy knocks from Swapnil Gugale (44) and the captain Kedar Jadhav (48) lifted the team, but with no other batsman able to score more than 18, Maharashtra were restricted to just 194 for 9.

Delhi's chase was marshaled by a 59-run partnership for the fourth wicket between Milind and Shorey. Though Shorey was run out for 57, Milind remained unbeaten on 58, with five fours and a six, to complete the win with 10 balls to spare.
