Vijay Hazare Trophy: Bishal guides Tripura to defeat Bihar by 5 wickets
Bishal Ghosh made an immediate impact upon returning to the team, proving his worth to the selectors and showing how much Tripura had missed him.
Bishal's responsible batting gave Tripura the momentum they needed to turn the game around and defeat Bihar in the Vijay Hazare Trophy cricket match.
At the NextGen Cricket Ground in Hyderabad, Tripura triumphed over Bihar by 5 wickets.
Responding to Bihar's score of 226, Tripura managed to chase down the required runs, losing only 5 wickets. Bikram Kumar Das scored 77, and Bishal Ghosh contributed 43 runs.
After losing to Baroda in their opening match, Tripura bounced back with this win against Bihar.
Bihar, having won the toss and elected to bat first, scored 226 for 8 in their 50 overs. They were pressured from the outset by Tripura's formidable bowling trio of Manisankar Murasing, Abhijit Sarkar, and Ajay Sarkar, a pressure from which they never fully recovered.
Despite Mahour's valiant effort to hold the innings together with 106 runs off 132 balls, which included 8 boundaries and 3 over-boundaries, Bihar couldn't post a larger total due to the failure of other batsmen.
Himanshu Singh scored 36 off 35 balls with 5 boundaries, Pratap made 31 off 52 balls with 2 boundaries and 1 over-boundary, and team captain S. Gani scored 25 off 32 balls with 4 boundaries.
For Tripura, Manisankar Murasing took 3 wickets for 27 runs, while Parvez Sultan claimed 2 wickets for 43 runs.
In their chase, Tripura secured the victory with 10 balls to spare, losing 5 wickets in the process. Opener Bikram Kumar Das was crucial with 77 runs off 81 balls including 8 boundaries, Bishal Ghosh scored 43 off 59 balls with 5 boundaries, Shridam Pal contributed 34 off 51 balls with 3 boundaries, and S. Sarath made 15 off 28 balls with one boundary. For Bihar, Himanshu Sinha took 2 wickets for 45 runs.
Tripura's next match is against the formidable Bengal team on December 26.
