The second essay was far worse than theirfirst and right arm off spinner Sharandeep Singh made the best of theopportunity, running through the Railways side. Bowling a nine overspell that yielded 5 wickets for 22 runs, Sharandeep scuttled outRailways for just 96.For Railways, just 4 batsmen reached double figures, and captain Rawatwith 23 was the top scorer. A rather dismal scorecard, one that no onefrom the Railways team would like to look at again.Winning the match by an innings and 64 runs, Punjab picked up avaluable 8 points and took their tally to 24. This means that theyqualify for the knock out phase. In their group Hyderabad defeatedBaroda today and ended with 21 points.
