Ranji Trophy: Uttar Pradesh rout Tripura by an innings and 384 runs

Uttar Pradesh defeated Tripura by an inninngs and 384 runs in their Elite Group C Ranji Trophy game on Monday.

Uttar Pradesh, who were in command right since the beginning of the four-day game, posted a convincing win with a day to spare.

After posting a mammoth 552/7 in their first innings, courtesy a double hundred by Priyam Garg and hundreds by Rinku Singh and skipper Aksh Deep Nath, their bowlers ensured that the batsmen need not bat again.

Resuming at the overnight score of 33/4, Tripura's first innings folded up at 108 in just 44 overs.

Apart from skipper and wicket-keeper Smit Patel (47) no other batsmen delivered for the visitors.

For the hosts, leggie Zeeshan Ansari (3-33), Saurabh Kumar (2-9), Ankit Rajpoot (2-42) shared the wickets.

Following on, Tripura batsman did not learn from their mistakes and faltered yet again.

The north-eastern side, in its second essay, was bowled out for just 60 and Uttar Pradesh needed mere 25 overs to complete Tripura's rout.

In the second essay, 25-year-old right-arm medium pacer Ankit Rajpoot wreaked havoc and returned with exceptional figures of 6-25 and was superbly aided another pacer Imtiaz Ahmed (3-30).

For Tripura, such was the misery that only one batsman was able to cross the individual double-figure mark.

Meanwhile at Guwahati, Goa needed another 52 runs for an outright win against Assam and have four wickets in hand.

Their hopes depend on Amit Verma and Lakshay Garg, who are unbeaten on 62 and 57, respectively.
