Left-arm spinner P. Vidyuth’s seven for 73 helped TNCA President’s XI bowl out Jammu & Kashmir for 230 and secure a huge 337-run first-innings lead on day four of the Buchi Babu Invitational Tournament semifinal at the CSK High Performance Centre here on Wednesday.
After J&K collapsed from its overnight 212 for four, it conceded the match for TNCA President’s XI to progress to the final.
There was considerable turn and bounce for the spinners on the third day, when Vidyuth had claimed three wickets.
On the fourth day, he opened his tally with a classic left-arm spinner’s dismissal – he had Dikshant Kundal (1) bowled off a delivery that pitched on middle, turned, and hit the top of the off-stump.
Abid Mushtaq (duck) played off his hip to be caught at leg slip, as Vidyuth claimed his second five-for of this edition.
Opener Yawar Hassan, who’d dug in for 84 (204b, 10×4), was trapped plumb in front off a ball that pitched on middle and straightened to hit his back leg.
Sunil Kumar (duck), the last wicket to fall, missed and was bowled off a delivery that kept low and went with the arm.
Left-arm spinner Vanshaj Sharma, who’d injured his bowling shoulder on the field on Tuesday, was absent hurt.
