D Vinay Kumar and AT Rayudu slaughtered Goa's bowlers to help Hyderabad notch up a massive 159-run win in their Ranji one-day match at Visakhapatnam on Tuesday.

Hyderabad, winning the toss, opted to bat, but lost both both openers with only 19 on the board. But Goa's bowlers could then not make another impact for 196 runs, as Vinay Kumar and Rayudu scored runs almost at will, hitting the ball to all parts of the park.

Rayudu was the first to fall, having made 117 off 107 balls, with 10 fours and five sixes. Anirudh Singh, his replacement, did not let up on the scoring rate, making 60 off 50 balls.

Vinay Kumar fell as the fourth wicket, having scored 101 off 126 balls with six fours. S Vishnuvardhan provided another late surge to take his side to 338/4 in their 50 overs.

Goa simply wilted in the face of their target. Barring opener SV Kamat's 61 off 83 balls, none of the individual scores could even come to terms with Hyderabad's bowling. PIS Reddy took four wickets to finish off the lower middle order, bring up a Hyderabad victory by 159 runs.
