Maharashtra pocketed three points by virtue of the first innings lead after their Ranji Trophy Group B match against Rajasthan ended in a draw at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium here today.
Twelve wickets fall on the fourth and final day of the match as Rajasthan lost their remaining two wickets to end their first innings at 330 in 123.4 overs, handing a crucial 131-run first innings lead to Maharashtra.
However, Rajasthan came back to bundle out Maharashtra for a paltry 145 in 60.4 overs in their second innings. They then batted for six over, scoring 4-0 in their second innings at stumps.
Earlier resuming their first innings at an overnight score of 299/8, Rajasthan lost No. 9 Pankaj Singh (9) and No. 10 Nathu Singh (4) cheaply within 5 overs to end their innings. Overnight batsman Chetan Bist (59) was left stranded at the other end.
Rajasthan then dished out a disciplined bowling effort with Nathu Singh (3/32) emerging as the highest wicket-taker and Pankaj and Tanvir Ul-Haq (2/4) claiming two wickets each. A Choudhary (1/42) and Mahipal Lomror (1/9) accounted for one wicket each.
No. 6 batsman Chirag Khurana (36) was the highest scorer in Maharashtra's second innings.
