Left-arm pacer Jaydev Unadkat wreaked havoc with the ball as Saurashtra dished out a dominant performance to thrash Assam by 10 wickets and sail into the final of the Ranji Trophy cricket tournament.
Such was Saurash-tra’s dominance that they wrapped up the five-day match inside three days with Assam batsmen falling flat in front of the opposition bowling unit led by Unadkat, who returned with impressive match figures of 11 for 112 runs. Saurashtra were earlier bowled out for 353 and then Unadkat helped his team bunle Assam out for a paltry 139 in their second innings.
Meanwhile, Suryak-umar Yadav and Aditya Tare helped Mumbai amass a 429-run lead against Madhya Pradesh on day three of the Ranji Trophy semifinal. Yadav (97*) and Tare (90*) had taken Mumbai to 285/3 in their second innings after the bowlers, led by Balwinder Sandhu, did well to dismiss Madhya Pradesh for 227 in their first essay.
Scores: Mumbai 371 & 285/3 (S. Yadav 97*, A. Tare 90*, S. Iyer 58) vs Madhya Pradesh 227 (N. Ojha 79, B. Sandhu 5/43, A. Nayar 3/56). Assam 234 & 139 (J. Unadkat 5/45, H. Rathod 3/26) lost to Saurashtra 353 (C. Pujara 126, S. Jackson 47, S. Jani 43, K. Das 3/80, A. Das 3/105) & 24/0
