Karnataka collapse in 110-run chase vs Gujarat in Ranji Trophy

The second round of matches in the ongoing Ranji Trophy are set to conclude today (January 15). While quite a few matches ended within two to three days, while other matches are headed towards draw.

But Karnataka and Gujarat played out a thrilling encounter at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

The Mayank Agarwal-led side floundered massively in the chase of 110 runs to lose the match by six runs after dominating for three days.

Perhaps, Karnataka were sitting pretty at 50/0 as Devdutt Padikkal and Agarwal started confidently in the chase.

But once the opening stand was broken, all hell broke loose with left-arm spinner Siddharth Desai wrecking havoc picking up seven wickets.

Only Shubhang Hedge, batting at number four, showed some resistance scoring 27 runs but three batters including Manish Pandey bagged ducks as Karnataka collapsed to get bowled out for 103 runs in 26.2 overs.
