    Left-arm spinner Rahil S Shah did the bulk of the damage taking five for 54 and he received good support from off-spinner Malolan Rangarajan who finished with three wickets. Assam, who is coming off a loss to Kerala in its last match, won the toss and chose to bat. 

    But for a crucial third-wicket partnership of 80 runs between Ryan Parag 65 (96b, 8x4, 2x6) and southpaw Abhishek Thakuri 55 (139b, 7x4), Assam could have been in danger of being dismissed for a two-digit score. TNCA President’s XI started off their chase confidently with opener L Surya prakash unbeaten on 35 and keeping him company was R Rohith on 47.

    Elsewhere, riding on K Sumanth’s unbeaten 103 (150b, 10x4, 1x6), Hyderabad scored 354 for nine at stumps against TNCA XI at the SRMC grounds. Hyderabad skipper P Akshath Reddy helped himself to 67 (87b, 9x4, 2x6) while opener Tanmay Agarwal scored a composed 82 (141b, 10x4, 1x6). The duo added 126 runs for the first wicket in 28.1 overs. Left-arm spinner R Aushik Srinivas impressed for the host picking five wickets for 103 runs.

    Brief Scores: Assam 176 in 61.5 overs (Ryan Parag 65, Abhishek Thakuri 55, Rahil S Shah 5/54, Malolan Rangarajan 3/40) vs TNCA President’s XI 105/1 in 28 overs (R Rohith 47*, L Suryapprakash 35*); Saurashtra 296 in 89.2 overs (Avi Barot 46, Harvik Desai 49, Dharmendra Jadeja 53*, DT Chandrasekar 3/81) vs TNCA Districts XI.
