Hyderabad managed to restrict Baroda to a slender first innings lead of
12 runs and were 4 for no loss at stumps on the second day in their
group B match at the Gymkhana Ground in Secunderabad on Monday.
Hyderabad still have two more days to pursue their objective of
an outright win to qualify for the knockout stage of the tournament.
Earlier, Baroda resumed at 2 for no loss, and soon were 70 for 5. HR
Jadhav (84 runs of 224 balls in 315 minutes), who came in at the fall
of the first wicket, played the sheet-anchor role for Baroda with
three valuble partnerships. Jadhav was initially helped by NR Mongia
(21 runs of 44 balls), in a sixth wicket partnership worth 41 runs in
12.5 overs. Then Jadhav was joined by AP Bhoite (42 runs of 85 balls)
and the two put on 65 runs in 25.3 overs for the seventh wicket.
Later, RB Patel and Jadhav helped Baroda to their first innings lead
with a eight wicket partnership of 32 runs in 11 overs. When Jadhav
was the ninth batsman out at the score of 211, he had made sure that
Baroda gained the vital 5 points from their slender first innings
lead.
For Hyderabad, Z Singh and Raju were the most successful bowlers with 3
for 54 and 56 respectively, while Satwalkar and Kanwaljit Singh picked
up two wickets apiece.
