Ranji: Aaron powers J'khand to 9 wickets win against Haryana

Press Trust of India  |  Rohtak (Haryana) 

bowlers led by former pacer produced a stellar show for the second time as they thrashed by nine wickets in the Elite Group C encounter.

After bundling out for a meagre 81 in the first innings yesterday, pacers again scuttled their oppostion for 72 in the second outing to contribute in the team's resounding win.

Resuming the overnight score of 120/6, Jharkhand managed to add only 23 runs to their total and were bowled out for 143. They had a slender 62-run first innings lead.

However, 29-year-old Aaron, who has played nine Tests and as many ODIs, had other ideas. He wreaked havoc on the batsmen and returned with exceptional figures of 6-32 in the second outing.

Aaron was ably supported by (3-31) and (1-9) as the pacers shared the wickets among them.

The Haryana batsman once again meekly surrendered before Aaron and company. Only four batters were able to score in doubles figures.

With just 11 runs needed for an outright win, Jharkhand completed the proceedings in four overs but lost in the process.
