Assam tail defies Bengal
14 November 1999

Calcutta: A fine show by the Assam tailenders featured the second day of the East Zone Ranji Trophy league tie against Bengal here on Saturday.

Resuming at 225 for six, Assam did well to post a challenging total of 347. The overnight not out batsmen SR Das (39) and R Bora (38) took the score to 264 before the former was out. Then Bora and Sukhwinder Singh (24) added 33 runs for the eighth wicket. And finally Dutta (34 not out) and Zaman (4), the last two batsmen put on 42 runs off 16 overs. Bengal skipper U Chatterjee was the most successful bowler taking five wickets for 54 off 33.5 overs.

When Bengal batted, Nikhil Haldipur (33) and DD Gupta (22) gave them a good start and then Rohan Gavaskar (42 not out) and S Kalyani (28 not out) carried on the good work as Bengal finished with 137 for two off 42.1 overs at stumps. Sukhwinder Singh took both the Bengal wickets for 32 runs.
