Valsad, As many as 16 wickets fell on Day Two as Assam emerged stronger against Punjab in the quarterfinal match of the Ranji Trophy.
Starting the day at 223/8, overnight batsman Jamaluddin Syed Mohammad (121) added 71 runs to his overnight score and took Assam to a respectable total of 323. He hit 16 boundaries and two sixes during his knock.
Syed Mohammad converted his overnight 50 into his second first-class hundred. He held on the innings for 21.3 overs with the final two wickets and in the process amassed 100 runs.
Later, seamers Krishna Das (3/54) and Arup Das (3/41) shared six wickets between them to rout Punjab for 137.
Middle-order batsman Mayank Sidhana remained unbeaten on 80 off 131 balls with 10 fours. Eight batsmen of the Punjab team could not enter double figures. Punjab were 13/4 in the fifth over as Arup ran amok. Mandeep Singh and Gurkeerat Mann got out for ducks, leaving Sidhana and Uday Kaul (25) to resurrect the innings.
The duo put on 73 runs together before part-timer Pallavkumar Das (2/9) broke through and the Punjab tail crumbled soon after.
In their second innings, Assam were 23/4. Assam’s batsmen pushed their first-innings lead of 186 to 209, but had a lot of trouble doing so, thanks to left-arm seamer Barinder Sran’s three for 11.
