He went into overdrive after reaching his hundred off 92 balls, sweeping and pulling left-arm spinner Aditya Sarvate for back-to-back fours and punishing Aniket Choudhary and Shivam Mavi’s overpitched deliveries with wrists of steel. Rana’s run out precipitated a collapse as North lost five wickets for 43 runs and could only muster 66 in the last 10 overs, which was eventually enough.
