Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Elite, Match 12 · Himachal Pradesh v Assam · IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali
Himachal Pradesh beat Assam by 16 runs in Mohali. Mridul Surroch's 52 from 35 balls lifted them to 176/6, and Jitender Rana took 2/13 as Assam finished on 119/6 from 15 overs.
Surroch anchors Himachal
Himachal chose to bat. Ayush Jamwal (27 from 20) and Ekant Sen (28 from 17) kept the scoring moving early, but wickets at 63/3 and 70/4 slowed the innings.
Surroch rebuilt it. He added 50 from 32 balls with Pukhraj Mann, who made 23 from 19, and then 42 from 33 with Vaibhav Kalta. Surroch hit four fours and two sixes in his 52, and Kalta finished 29 not out from 18 balls as the last, unbroken stand brought 14 from 4 balls.
Akash Sengupta was Assam's most successful bowler, with 2/31 from four overs.
Assam fall short
Assam lost three wickets for 17 runs early, from 17 without loss to 34/3. Denish Das made 22 from 16 balls before he was stumped at 62/4.
Saahil Jain kept Assam going with 37 not out from 26 balls, including two fours and two sixes. Rana's 2/13 came from just two overs, and Aryaman Singh Dhaliwal (1/18), Ayush Jamwal (1/23), Arpit Guleria (1/32) and Nehal Wadhera (1/5) took a wicket each.
The official scorecard lists Assam's innings as 119/6 from 15 overs and records the result as a 16-run win for Himachal Pradesh. It does not give a reason for the shorter innings.
