Hyderabad held on for a draw on Day Four of their Ranji Trophy league match against Andhra Pradesh at Secunderabad on Friday, giving their rivals five points from the match. Resuming on their overnight score of 68/2, Hyderabad lost Vanka Pratap with the score on 91. A Nand Kishore, the only batsman from his side who has looked comfortable in this match, made 70 off 234 balls before becoming the fourth wicket to fall. Hyderabad's middle order, however, performed more solidly than in the first innings. D Vinay Kumar, in particular, showed tremendous grit to make an unbeaten 37 off 238 balls. He, along with Venkatapathy Raju (32 off 103 balls), took his side through to stumps in safety. Ending the day on 237/6, Hyderabad gained three points from this drawn encounter. The result put Andhra Pradesh at the top of the South Zone league points table and Hyderabad at third place, with Tamil Nadu finishing second.
