ScorecardJamaica’s run of 15 straight first-class wins was finally brought to an end•WICBTrinidad & Tobago held on to a three-wicket victory over five-time defending champions Jamaica in their semi final, and will proceed to the final on May 9 where they will play Barbados. It was a huge upset as it ended a run of 15 consecutive wins for Jamaica in the Caribbean first-class domestic competition.Jamaica chose to bat, and were 87 for 6 at one stage as the T&T bowlers bowled incisive spells. Carlton Baugh played the lone hand with an unbeaten 88, with Tamar Lambert scoring a vital 38. Last man Sheldon Cotterrell scored 44 to help boost Jamaica’s innings to 246. Marlon Richards took 5 for 46, while Imran Khan took two wickets.T&T lost opener Jeremy Solozano early through a run out, but Lendl Simmons and Yannick Cariah shared a 64-run partnership to help steady the innings. However T&T’s innings was kept in check by Nikita Miller, who finished the innings with figures of 5 for 41 in 23 overs. Contributions from Simmons (79), Cariah (26) and Akeal Hosein (24) helped push the T&T score to 170 before they were dismissed.Although they began with a lead of 76, Jamaica did not fare any better in their second innings, as Richards and Rayad Emrit struck to pick up three wickets each. Apart from a 39-run partnership between David Bernard and Baugh, who once again top-scored with an unbeaten 38, the team was shot out for 102, leaving T&T 179 runs to chase.Jamaica’s chase looked as good as over with the score at 73 for 6 but Imran Khan and Emrit ensured the team would make it to the target, albeit seven wickets down. Bernard waged a lone war, taking six of the seven T&T wickets, and was not helped by two dropped catches.”It was a fantastic effort. It was a real fight,” T&T manager Omar Khan told the after the match. “Down to the end the guys rally showed a lot of character. In the batting department we continue to struggle, but Imran Khan and young Katwaroo gave us a partnership (of 57) and we really fought.”And then Imran and Rayad Emrit. We knew we had batting to the end, but at the end of the day the guys have to be commended.”

ESPNcricinfo staff28-Mar-2013Group AA career best 4 for 11 from left-arm seamer Suryakant Pradhan helped Odisha clinch a convincing seven-wicket victory over Delhi in Indore. After Delhi chose to bat, Pradhan destroyed their top order; they couldn’t recover from it and were eventually bowled out for 80 in the final over of the innings. No. 9 Pawan Negi was the top scorer with 20. In reply, Odisha lost their first wicket in the first over, but thereafter steadied themselves through patient knocks by Ankit Yadav (26), Arabind Singh (19) and Govind Podder (25), to reach the target in the penultimate over. With the win, Odisha moved above Gujarat to occupy the second-last place in the points table after three games.An unbeaten 16-ball 42 from Raiphi Gomez took Kerala to a narrow one-wicket victory (VJD method) over Vidarbha in a rain-shortened match at the Emerald High School Ground. Kerala, chasing 108 from 13 overs, lost wickets quickly and were in danger of being bowled out cheaply, but Gomez helped his side score 52 off 29 balls, with wickets falling all around him, to get them home in the final over. Besides him and Sanju Samson, no other batsman put up any resistance. Vidarbha’s innings revolved around a solid unbeaten 55 from Amol Ubarhande. He took them to 138 in 19 overs before rain delayed play. Kerala moved to the top spot of the table.Group BA responsible knock of 70 from Mohammad Kaif helped Uttar Pradesh to a 10-run victory over Karnataka in Indore. After UP were put in to bat, Kaif put on valuable partnerships of 51 (37 balls) and 70 (41 balls) with wicketkeeper Gaurav Tomar and Tanmay Shrivastava. Though they lost wickets towards the end of the innings, Kaif’s innings ensured they set their opponents a target of 164. In their chase, Karnataka were pegged back by early wickets – they were reduced to 31 for 3 in the sixth over. Lokesh Rahul (34), Stuart Binny (39) and Karun Nair (29) kept them in the hunt, but wickets fell towards the end and they fell short of their target. The win gave Karnataka third place in Group B, above UP.A solid top-order performance from Punjab, led by Ravi Inder Singh’s knock of 60, helped Punjab clinch a 25-run victory over Bengal in a Group B tie at the Holkar Stadium. The foundation of a strong total was laid by Ravi’s valuable stands of 46 with the captain Mandeep Singh, 39 with Gurkeerat Singh and 39 with Mayank Sidhana. Sidhana and Amitoze Singh accelerated towards the end of the innings to push their run-rate up, and get them to a competitive 168. Bengal lost wickets regularly in their chase, and the lack of a long knock or a partnership, despite a number of starts by batsmen, hurt them. The opener Shreevats Goswami was the top-scorer with 33; Bengal eventually limped to 143 for 8 in their 20 overs. Punjab took the top spot in the group with the win, with Bengal behind them at the second spot.

After two days of excitement on the best surface produced for this season’s Ranji quarter-finals, UP are still not out, but they are not in it by much either

The underdog continued to bite chunks out of the big opponent’s reputation on day two in Indore. In the morning, young Rajat Paliwal played probably the innings of his short career to give Services a lead of 129 on a difficult pitch. As Uttar Pradesh resisted in their second innings the way a top side should, fast bowler Suraj Yadav squeezed out four wickets through sheer relentlessness. After two days of excitement on the best surface produced for this season’s Ranji quarter-finals, the best side of the league stage are still not out, but they are not in it by much either.Services had earned a narrow lead by stumps on day one with positive, unhindered batting. They raised the bar on the second morning. Knowing that a batsman was never in on the green, bouncy Holkar Stadium pitch, they attacked at the slightest opportunity. The efforts of Paliwal and Sarabjit Singh, whose partnership doubled the score from 97 for 5, brought 109 runs in just over two hours.The duo was beaten repeatedly outside off stump, especially Sarabjit and their gloves were battered by short balls – Paliwal had a large, bulging blister on his right forefinger – but the boundaries still came. A flail over slips by Sarabjit; a slash over gully and an upper-cut over the third-man boundary by Paliwal.Even as Services raced towards 200, Ankit Rajpoot, in his first over of the day, had Sarabjit edging one low to Mohammad Kaif at first slip on 40. Yadav edged a lifter to the wicketkeeper next ball, and with an injured captain, Soumik Chatterjee, doubtful to bat, there wasn’t much batting left. Which is when Paliwal opened up further.He also began to farm the strike, taking singles towards the end of overs. When Piyush Chawla was introduced, Paliwal drilled his first ball to the deep extra-cover boundary, pulled the legspinner over midwicket for four and in the same over, lofted him for a flat six over extra cover.By now, Paliwal was unstoppable. He played the hook liberally as UP overdid the short stuff, and lofted Rajpoot to the straight boundary to reach his fourth hundred of the season. Chawla, for the umpteenth time in his career reduced to bowling flat and quick, was taken for successive fours even by No 10 Shadab Nazar.What this match meant to Services was evident when Chatterjee limped out after Nazar was bowled by a Rajpoot yorker. The Services captain was caught in front first ball to give Rajpoot his fifth, but there was no doubting Services’ desperation in a rare knockout game for them.UP had to face about three overs before lunch, which was taken during the third when Mukul Dagar was given caught behind pushing forward to Yadav. Kaif, the stand-in UP captain, and Srivastava now battled, just like Sarabjit and Paliwal had. They were beaten repeatedly as well but hung on.As a rather harsh winter sun shone on the ground, Services’ attack, comprising just three fast bowlers and a part-time medium-pacer, started flagging. But Yadav somehow summoned the energy to produce successive wicket-taking deliveries.Kaif, who had survived three lbw appeals in a Nishan Singh over, was caught in front on 33 by one that drew him forward and straightened past the bat. Yadav did it again next ball, a similar delivery zipping past Parvinder Singh’s push to flatten the off stump.UP would have sunk further had Yadav not overstepped while having Srivastava caught behind on 32. Srivastava had been calmly leaving them outside off all this while, and along with the solid Arish Alam, steadied UP again. Yadav had more reserves left still. He dug one in at Srivastava late in the day, the opener was snapped up by the keeper again, and this time, it was a legal delivery.UP had played a spinning allrounder in Chawla and a spinner in Ali Murtaza on a grassy wicket, which meant it was the last batting pair of Alam and Eklavya Dwivedi at the crease now. The pair took UP into the lead, which at effectively 9 for 4 isn’t much of a lead.

Big picture

While the richer teams have grown stronger with big-name buys during the 2012 auction, Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab have been slowly pushed to a second-tier status in the IPL. However, under captains Rahul Dravid and Adam Gilchrist, both teams are capable of punching above their weight.Dravid was an automatic choice for captain after the departure of Shane Warne and he will be intent on making an impression on Kings XI as much as on his own team. His first job will be to shape the team according to his vision, after the leadership of Warne, who was synonymous with brand Royals. Dravid can take cues from his opposite number Gilchrist, who hasn’t been the force he used to be with the bat, but led Deccan Chargers to a title and has extracted performances from little known players, Paul Valthaty for example, after moving to Kings XI.A win in the opening game is important for Royals because their next three matches are against strong teams and any points from this game will provide that initial boost. Kings XI will look to do the same and identify who their superstar this season will be.The match will also have a bowl-off between Sreesanth and Praveen Kumar. Sreesanth, who joined Royals this year, has the opportunity to score points over a jaded Praveen, who appeared ineffective in international matches in Australia and Bangladesh.

Players to watch

With performances belying his 41 years, Brad Hogg was the leading spinner in this year’s Big Bash League, taking 13 wickets. Using his mix of chinaman deliveries and googlies, Hogg could fill the void left by Warne in the Rajasthan attack.Punjab spent $200,000 to buy the services of Azhar Mahmood, the only player who has played for Pakistan* in this IPL. That could prove to be a bargain as Mahmood can be dangerous with bat and ball.

2011 head-to-head

Kings XI won their only match against Royals last year, a 48-run win set up by Shaun Marsh’s 42-ball 71.

Stats and trivia

• Brad Hodge, who is now part of the Royals, is the second-highest run-getter in Twenty20 cricket, only 44 behind David Hussey’s 4270.
• Azhar Mahmood is one of four players* to have more than 100 wickets and 2000 runs in the Twenty20 format.
• Royals and Kings XI have played seven games against each other and the head-to-head record is 4-3 in Royals’ favour.

Quotes

“Warnie’s absence is undoubtedly a big loss. In the first four years he has done a lot for the team. But this time the responsibility is on Rahul Dravid. Having so much experience, even Dravid knows how to handle the situations and we are ready for the challenge. We have players who have performed well in all formats of the game. The seniors like Rahul, Sreesanth and I will also ensure that we play our part right and help the team perform in the tournament.”

“There are bigger hitters than me in the IPL, but I realise that the pressure will definitely be on me since I’ve done well last year, and I’m ready for it. I won’t change the way I play and will approach my batting in the same fashion – strokes and all – and hope to have the same results”
An IPL 2011 success story, Paul Valthaty, will have the weight of expectation this time round. *April 6, 19:30 GMT: The article earlier said that Azhar Mahmood is the only player to take more than 100 wickets and score more than 2000 runs in Twenty20 cricket.*04:44 GMT, April 6: The article had stated that Azhar Mahmood was the only Pakistan-born player in this IPL. This has been corrected.Edited by George Binoy

Seventeen wickets fell for 262 runs on the opening day of the County Championship Division Two game at Chelmsford, where Essex gained the upper hand against leaders Northamptonshire

ESPNcricinfo staff25-Jun-2011
Scorecard
Seventeen wickets fell for 262 runs on the opening day of the County Championship Division Two game at Chelmsford, where Essex gained the upper hand against leaders Northamptonshire. The visitors were reduced to 79 for 7 in reply to an Essex total of 183.Left-arm fast bowler Chaminda Vaas claimed 6 for 46 from 17 overs as Essex struggled to make early progress with the bat, while David Masters took 4 for 23 from 18 overs in Northamptonshire’s reply. Swing was the major weapon for both bowling attacks, although they were helped by a combination of poor strokes and bad judgment.Jaik Mickleburgh and Tim Phillips were both bowled offering no stroke against 37-year-old Vaas who, in a 19-ball spell either side of lunch, snared four wickets at a cost of only seven runs. Opener Tom Westley (61) contributed exactly a third of the home side’s runs while putting together his third successive half-century.The 22-year-old right-hander laced his innings with 10 boundaries, most of them with fluent drives either side of the wicket, before he was caught behind off the bowling of Vaas. Only three other batsmen managed to reach double figures. Owais Shah made 26 before becoming another Vaas victim, while skipper James Foster (30) and Masters (31) were the others as they gave the total an air of respectability.They shared an eighth-wicket stand of 60 in 13 overs which was broken when Masters edged Lee Daggett to Rob White in the slips. Foster was last out to provide David Lucas with his second success, but Essex quickly hit back when the visitors launched their response.In a magnificent opening spell of seven overs, six of which were maidens, Masters removed Stephen Peters and White, both with the help of smart catches by Mickleburgh at forward short leg. He later returned to get rid of Alex Wakely and Niall O’Brien, and with Matt Walker and Reece Topley also getting among the wickets, Northamptonshire reached the close in dire straits.They found themselves still 104 runs adrift at the end of day one and desperately needing Vaas to show his qualities as an allrounder to get within touching distance of Essex’s total. He will resume with 12 to his name in partnership with Lucas, the pair having so far added a valuable 19 for the eighth wicket.
