Assam, who have been going through a terrible run of form, wanted to open their account against third-placed Services, but the Rain Gods didn’t relent at all, which means the game was abandoned withou🌳t a ball being bowled. While Assam is already out of the qualification race, Services would have wanted to secure a win so a🐎s to put them at the top two.
However, the result of Services-𒁃Assam match being abandoned must have made Haryana happy as they comfortably secured t♕heir spot at the top with one match to go. After the delayed start in proceedings, the match was reduced to a 21-overs-a-side affair and skipper Manoj Tiwary's unbeaten half-century led Bengal to a strong total of 140/9 despite wickets falling at regular intervals. Tiwary also got some support from youngster Vivek Singh, who contributed with a handy 30 for the team.
Chasing a target with cloud cover being on was not going to be easy, and Bengal bowlers were not in the mood to let the game slip from their hands as well. A terrific bowling display saw Haryana being reduced to 44 for 5 in nine overs as the required run-rate kept mounting gradually. However, when the north-Indian were at 69 for 6, rain stopped play once again to forc♏e the abandonment of the game.
In another game at the TI Cycles Ground in Chennai, the Jharkhand-Tripura match was also abandoned. While Jharkhand are placed at the top the table alongside Haryana, Tripura find themselves in the bottom half of the table with only two wins 🀅in eight matches.
