Ahmedabad, January 15

Gujarat scripted a stunning turnaround by bundling out Karnataka for a mere 103 on the final day to secure a six-run win in their Ranji Trophy Group C clash. Set a 110-run target, Karnataka were cruising at 50/0 before the Gujarat bowlers, headlined by left-arm spinner Siddharth Desai’s 7/42, orchestrated a sensational collapse.

In Mullanpur, seamer Himanshu Sangwan’s 4/58 helped Railways secure the first innings lead over Punjab and garner three points after their drawn match.

Starting the day at 93/6, Punjab folded for 178. Abhinav Sharma was their top-scorer with 73 off 92 balls. Forced to bat again, Punjab reached 53/1 at stumps.

Brief scores: Gujarat: 264 & 219 vs Karnataka: 374 & 103 (Desai 7/42); Railways: 345 vs Punjab: 178 (Abhinav 73; Sangwan 4/58) & 53/1.
