Paras knock goes in vain as HP outplays J&K by 9 wkts

Nadaun, Nov 12:
Promising middle order batsman, Paras Sharma’s knock went in vain as medium-pacer Rishi Dhawan bagged 5-for to help Himachal Pradesh trounce Jammu and Kashmir, who saw five ducks in their innings, by nine wickets in the Vijay Hazare one-day tournament, here today.
Put into bat at the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Stadium, Jammu and Kashmir lost both their openers for naught and the next five batsmen added just 10 runs as the Parvez Rasool-led side were bundled for a paltry 132 in 37 overs.
Adil Rishi, Veemarsh Kaw, Bandeep Singh, Waseem Raza and Obaid Haroon failed to trouble the scorers as the side was reduced to 25 for seven at one stage.
Number eight batsman Paras Sharma (60), No.9 Ram Dayal (24) and No.10 Samiullah Beigh (19) gave some face to the innings as Dhawan and pace spearhead Vikramjeet Malik, picking up three wickets, tore into the J&K batting.(PTI)
