Jharkhand stole a win against Tamil Nadu in a close encounter in Guwahati. Chasing 212 in the second innings, the Jharkhand side lost some early wickets and were 49/4 when Saurabh Tiwary and Kumar Kushagra joined hands and stitched a stand of 90 runs for the fifth wicket to provide the much-needed resistance.
Both the batters notched up individual fifties but Kushagra’s dismissal once again broke the shackles as Jharkhand lost a couple of more wickets at regular intervals.
It was Tiwary’s resilience at one end that kept the team in the game as the left-handed batter struck 93 during the course. Jharkhand eventually went over the line by 2 two wickets.
