Needing 110, Karnataka Fall Short Of Target vs Gujarat. Get Bowled Out For...

Gujarat scripted a stunning turnaround by bundling out Karnataka for a mere 103 on the final day to secure a dramatic six-run win in their Ranji Trophy Group C clash on Monday. Set a modest 110-run target, the star-studded Karnataka were cruising comfortably at 50 for no loss before the Gujarat bowlers, headlined by left-arm spinner Siddharth Desai's stellar 7/42 orchestrated a sensational collapse. He was well-supported by off-spinner Rinkesh Vaghela (3/38) as Karnataka lost all their wickets for 53 runs inside 17 overs.

This was Gujarat's second successive win as they climbed to the top of the group with 12 points, while the eight-time champions Karnataka slipped to third place with six points.

Tripura occupy second place after their drawn match against Tamil Nadu at home.

It all began with Mayank Agarwal's departure in the 10th over as Desai turned the game on its head with Karnataka batters showing atrocious shot selection.

Devdutt Padikkal (31), Nikin Jose (4) and Manish Pandey (0) followed suit as the vaunted Karnataka line-up struggled against the spin and crumbled under pressure with only three managing double-digit scores.

Shubhang Hegde remained composed amid the chaos but a stunning catch by wicketkeeper Het Patel ended his innings for 27 (37b) with Karnataka on 92/8, 18 runs shy of the target.

Thereafter it was a matter of time as Rohit Kumar and Prasidh Krishna got out in addition of just 11 runs.
