With their batsmen coming good, Himachal Pradesh defeated Jammu &
Kashmir in their Ranji one-day match at Jullundar on Monday.
Winning the toss, Himachal Pradesh opted to bat. Although they lost
Rajiv Nayyar early, opener Sandeep Sharma put on 66 runs with Amit
Sharma for the second wicket. Sharma combined again with Sangram Singh
to post 158 runs for the fourth wicket.
Himachal Pradesh ended their innings on 304/7, with Sharma making 92
and Sangram a quick 93 off 97 balls. The bowlers then swung into
action; GP Singh (44) top-scored in a total of 209/7 as Himachal
Pradesh's bowlers restricted Jammu & Kashmir admirably. Himachal
Pradesh thus registered a 95-run win to start their Ranji one-day
campaign.
