Convincing win for Andhra

Rohtak: D. Kalyanakrishna and K.S. Shahbuddin shared nine wickets between them and bowled Andhra to a convincing 114-run victory over host Haryana in their Super League Ranji Trophy match on Sunday.

Chasing a target of 242 on the final day, Haryana's batting collapsed and from the overnight position of 92 for three, it was dismissed for a mere 127. The overnight batsmen Shafiq Khan and Sachin Rana fell early to Kalyanakrishna.

Shahbuddin then sliced through the middle order, nabbing the wickets of M. Rawat and S. Verma, both for nought. Joginder Sharma offered token resistance towards the end, but his 20 was not enough for Haryana to escape defeat.
