CUTTACK: Odisha enjoyed a slight advantage in their Ranji Trophy Group C match against Jammu and Kashmir by taking an overall lead of 173 runs on the second day here on Monday.
Fourteen wickets fell on the second day after the bowlers had shone by picking up 13 scalps on day one.
The home side, who was sent in to bat by J&K on Sunday, were bowled out for 161 in their first knock.
The Odisha bowlers, led by right-arm medium-pacers Basant Mohanty (4 for 42) and Debabrata Pradhan (3/12), sent the opposition batsmen packing for 124 in 45 overs to ensure a first innings lead of 37 runs.
However, the Odisha batsmen did not fare too well in the second innings as none of them could build on the starts they got. Odisha were 136 for 7 in their second innings from 62 overs at the draw of stumps.
The openers — Shantanu Mishra (26) and AR Sarangi (26) — put on 52 for the first wicket before J&K captain Parvez Rasool dismissed the latter. (AGENCIES)
