Railways crush Vidarbha by 10 wickets
Staff Reporter - 12 November 2001

The Railways-Vidarbha Ranji Trophy league match played at Nagpur ended on Day Three, with Railways emerging comprehensive winners and picking up eight points in the process.

Resuming at their overnight score of 113/5, Vidarbha had to mount a massive second-innings total and bowl Railways out to stand any chance of winning the game. That did not happen; although Ulhas Gandhe (44) and Sameer Khare (39*) ensured that their side were not humiliated as badly as in the first innings, the lower middle-order collapsed, with the last wicket falling for 205 just four minutes before lunch. Murali Kartik, Railways' left-arm spinner, picked up five wickets for 33 runs.

Set a target of 30 to win, Railways were never likely to be in any deep trouble and, as expected, openers Jai P Yadav and Sanjay Bangar knocked off the runs in eight overs. The match ended just 35 minutes after lunch, a good sign of how Railways dominated Vidarbha in this game right from the outset.
