Cricket
With a bonus point gained for the innings' win, the host garnered three points from this match and has four from three matches in the seven-team cluster. Orissa has none from four matches. It was the lanky mediumpacer's second consecutive 10-wicket match haul; the one against Uttar Pradesh, however, had gone in vain. He had missed the season opener against Baroda. On a wicket that continued to aid mediumpacers (which was why the home team operated only pace bowlers through the match), Balaji, who took five for 25 in the first innings, scalped Sujan Mohanty, P. Jaychandra and Gautam Gopal in quick time to leave Orissa, resuming at 78 for four, breathless at 100 for seven.
Hat-trick by Gagandeep
Gagandeep Singh became the first Punjab bowler to achieve a hat-trick while powering his side to a 47-run win over Uttar Pradesh in an elite group `B' encounter at Mohali. His victims were Nikhil Chopra, Javed Anwar and M.B. Tripathi. At the Kotla, Delhi, resuming at 57 for one and needing 128 more for victory over Andhra, achieved it with seven wickets to spare, highlighted by Akash Chopra's undefeated 93.
