Tanmay back in form, guides Hyderabad to second win

This was Hyderabad's second successive win walloping Tripura in the opening match.

Hyderabad: Skipper Tanmay Agarwal, who was struggling for runs, returned to form in style as he hammered a 116-ball 122 (15×4, 1×6) to star in Hyderabad’s seven-wicket win over Chhattisgarh in Elite Group A league match of the Vijay Hazare one-day tournament in Surat on Monday.

This was Hyderabad’s second successive win walloping Tripura in the opening match. Set to score 243 for victory, Hyderabad cruised to victory in the 40.4 overs.

The left-handed opening duo of Tanmay and in-form Thakur Tilak Varma (60 off 78 balls,6×4) put on 131 runs before the later was dismissed in the 36th over. Tanmay was then involved in a 88-run partnership with Himalay Agarwal. Himalay blasted a quick-fire 36-ball 49 (4×4, 2×6) but missed his half century by one run when he was dismissed by Sumit Ruikar. Tanmay departed with Hyderabad one run away from win.

Earlier, Chhattisgarh were restricted to 242/7 in 50 overs. Left-arm spinner Mehdi Hasan bowled splendidly to return with figures of 3/32. Harpreet Singh Bhatia (63, 99 balls) and Ashutosh Singh (51) shared 93 runs for the fourth wicket. Medium pacer Ajay Dev Goud broke the partnership by dismissing Harpreet Singh.
