Good start by Haryana

MUMBAI, DEC. 8. Haryana posted an impressive 337 for nine against Delhi in the Elite Group `A' three-day match of the Cooch Behar Trophy (under-19) tournament at the Bombay Gymkhana on Wednesday.

At the MIG Club, Karnataka skittled out Goa for 102 in 41. 1 overs. New ball bowler Gaurav Dhiman overstepped the popping crease 14 times and gave away 51 runs in 12.1 overs, but caused sufficient damage removing three of the top four Goa batsmen. He got adequate support from B. N. Bharat who accounted for three dismissals.

At stumps Karnataka was 126 for six wickets — 24 ahead on the first innings.

The scores: Haryana 337 for nine (Ankit Rawat 66, Prem Prateek 82, Chandrapal Saini batting 71) v Delhi.

Goa 102 (Gaurav Dhiman four for 51) v Karnataka 126 for six.
