Electing to bat on winning the toss, Haryana captain Mohit Sharma saw his decision backfire as his team lost openers Nitin Saini (22) and Shubham Rohilla (18) cheaply.<\/p>\n
Shivam Chauhan (23) also did not last long, becoming Nadeem’s third victim as Haryana struggled at 71\/3.
Chaitanya Bishnoi (41) and Rajat Paliwal (42) then produced an 83-run partnership as they attempted to bring the Haryana innings back on track.<\/p>\n
Nadeem, however, removed both batsmen in consecutive overs to swing the momentum back in Jharkhand’s favour.
Rohit Sharma and Amit Mishra also fell cheaply before Pahal and Patel came up with an unbroken stand of 56 runs.

Opting to field, Odisha had Gujarat on the mat at 71\/6 in 31 overs but Gandhi and Kalaria rescued the team with their gritty effort.<\/p>\n
While Gandhi struck six boundaries in his 161-ball knock, Kalaria found the fence six times and cleared it once while facing 136 deliveries.<\/p>\n
