Railways won the match in only 5.3 overs losing a single wicket as the match lasted a total of 21 overs at the old Vidarbha Cricket Association ground at the Civil Lines.
This is the second lowest score by a team in the history of India's domestic one day competition. The lowest score in List A in India was Saurashtra's 34 against Mumbai back in the year 2000. Across the globe, this is the seventh lowest score in first-class cricket.
Railways seamers Anureet Singh (5/16 in 8 overs) and Amit Mishra (5/18 in 7.3 overs) shared the spoils. The highest score was Arjit Gupta's 13, which incidentally was the only double digit score by a batsman.
When asked about such dismal score, Railways skipper Mahesh Rawat was quick to point out that there were no demons in the pitch.
"Yesterday, we played at the same ground and both teams scored in the range of 240 plus. So you can't simply blame the pitch. The pitch was fine and there were no demons. Our opening bowlers were brilliant from the start. We have young Bilaspur boy Amit, who bowls outswing at a decent pace and we had Anureet, who is a seasoned campaigner at this level," skipper Rawat told PTI from Nagpur.
Brief Scores: Rajasthan 35 in 15.3 overs (Anureet Singh 5/16, Amit Mishra 5/18).
Railways 39/1 in 5.3 overs (Asad Pathan 20).
Points: Rajasthan 0 Railways 4.
