Squandering opportunities and overcoming adversities made big differences as defending champions and host Vidarbha crushed Odisha by 100 runs on the last day of their four-day Ranji Trophy Elite Group-A match at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur today.
This was the third defeat in four matches for Odisha, who earlier lost to Baroda by seven wickets and to Andhra by an innings and 50 runs. In their second match, which ended in a draw against Uttar Pradesh at Green Park Stadium, Kanpur on October 28, Odisha secured one consolation point.
Put into bat by Odisha captain Subhranshu Senapati, Vidarbha were in dire straits, losing three wickets with only six runs on the board. But Odisha failed to capitalize on the early advantages as Vidarbha rode on century by Duruv Shorey to make a competitive first-inning total of 286.
