Akash Deep stars as Bengal thrash Haryana, storm into Ranji Trophy quarters | Cricket News – Times of India
ROHTAK: Bengal pacer Akash Deep returned with a career-best 10-wicket match haul as Bengal stormed into quarterfinals with a thumping innings and 50-run victory over Haryana in their Group A Ranji Trophy match on Friday.
Resuming the final day on a precarious 177/7 following on, Haryana managed to last only 10 overs and folded for 206 with Akash wrapping up the issue, dismissing Ajit Chahal and Amit Rana en route to a second successive five-wicket haul (5/51).
Akash’s 5/61 in the first innings had brought the home team’s downfall for a paltry 153 as he returned with his maiden 10-wicket match haul (10/112).
Mukesh Kumar (3/62) and Ishan Porel (2/42) also impressed as the Bengal pace troika unleashed their fury on a challenging Lahli track.
Bengal posted a massive 419 in their first innings, thanks to Anustup Majumdar’s gritty 145.
The victory helped the Manoj Tiwary-led side remain on top of Group A with 32 points from six games having won four and drawn two to sail into the quarters with a match in hand.
They next face Odisha at the Eden Gardens from Tuesday.
“Good win yes but we have a long way to go. There is no place for complacency. There is no place for celebration. We need to work hard and fight together as a team,” Bengal coach Laxmi Ratan Shukla said.
