Ranji Trophy 2019-20: Round 8, Day 4- Round-up

The fourth day in the eighth round of Ranji Trophy 2019-20 culminated with many teams cruising to the victory. Most teams had registered a victory on Day 3 itself and the remaining teams accomplished the task on Day 4.

Bihar cruised to a six-wicket victory against Arunachal Pradesh after decimating them at a modest total of 163 runs in their second innings. Ashutosh Aman’s six-wicket haul wreaked havoc on Arunachal Pradesh’s bowling force as no batsman was able to stick to the wicket for a prolonged time. MD Rahmatullah, who was also adjudged Man of the Match, scored a sublime ton in the second innings to propel Bihar to a formidable victory.

The match between Delhi and Gujarat resulted in a draw after no team was able to scalp enough wickets on the final day. The Bhargav Merai-Manprit Juneja duo stuck to the crease to ensure that Gujarat’s total read 128/2 at the stumps on Day 4. Manpreet Juneja was awarded Man of the Match for his sublime batting performances in both the innings. Similarly, the encounter between Vidarbha and Kerala also resulted in a draw after no play was possible on Day 04 due to wet outfield.

The high-octane clash between Saurashtra and Mumbai also resulted in a draw after the latter failed to scalp former’s wickets before the completion of Day 4. Kamlesh Makwana and Dharmendrasinh Jadeja stuck in the middle till the stumps to ensure a draw. Shams Mulani was adjudged Man of the Match for his brilliant all-round performance in the match. Following this defeat, Mumbai have crashed out of the Ranji Trophy knock-outs due to Saurashtra’s resilience.
