Ranji Trophy 2022-23: Pramanik fifer helps Bengal sink Nagaland on Day 1
The HinduPradipta Pramanik achieved his maiden fifer to help Bengal restrict Nagaland to 166 for nine in the first innings in the Ranji Trophy Group-A match at the Nagaland Cricket Stadium on Tuesday. Following a 75-minute delayed start due to bad light, Nagaland, opting to bat, rode on Chetan Bist’s defiant half-century to gather a total of some worth before poor light, which forced four stoppages, ended the opening day’s play prematurely. The lanky Pramanik, who bowled tight lines, varied his pace and extracted good bounce, hit Joshua Ozukum’s off-stump. The scores: Nagaland -- 1st innings: Yugandhar Singh 2, Joshua Ozukum b Pramanik 8, Shrikant Mundhe st Abishek b Shahbaz 0, Rongsen Jonathan st Abishek b Pramanik 25, Chetan Bist b Pramanik 64, Zhimomi Hokaido lbw b Pramanik 2, Sedezhalie Rupero c Abishek b Ishan 10, Imliwati Lemtur b Pramanik 25, Nagaho Chisi 14, Khrievitso Kense 6, Chopise Hopongkyu 4, Extras 6, Total 166 Fall of wickets: 1-15, 2-15, 3-21, 4-53, 5-55, 6-74, 7-121, 8-150, 9-162 Bengal bowling: Ishan 4-1-12-1, Akash 10-2-40-0, Shahbaz 20-6-53-1, Pramanik 24-4-43-5, Karan 4-0-13-0.
