Una needs 420 runs to win in the final match of the four-day senior inter-district tournament going on at the International Cricket Stadium, Dharamshala. Kullu has set a target of 559 runs for Una. By the end of the third day’s play on Friday, Una had scored 139 runs after losing three wickets in the second innings. Una will have to score the remaining runs in 90 overs on Saturday. Una still has seven wickets left.
Una’s Ankit Kalsi is at the crease after scoring 50 runs. All eyes are on whether Una will achieve the target before 90 overs or whether Kullu will be able to send the remaining players to the pavilion soon. However, Kullu team is in a strong position and chasing a huge score is no less than a challenge for Una. Even if the match is a draw, Kullu’s team will be the winner in the competition on the basis of taking lead in the first innings.
Kullu had scored 268 runs in the first innings. But Una’s team collapsed for only 110 runs. In such a situation, Kullu got a lead of 158 runs in the first innings. On Friday, on the third day, Kullu started playing ahead of 192 runs and the entire team collapsed before the tea break. But by then the team had scored 400 runs. On the third day, Abhinandan played a brilliant unbeaten 63 runs for Kullu. Whereas bowling towards Una, Mahesh Thakur and Raghav Bali took three wickets each and Hartik Kalia took two wickets.
