LIVE CRICKET SCORE: Bengal 197/9 in overs 33 | Target 308 | BATTING: Pankaj Kumar Shaw 51(40), Sayan Ghosh 0(2): The match will end anytime with Andhra as the winner. Bengal bowlers have failed today to restrict the Andhra batsmen and their batsmen could not take the pressure of a tough target and wickets kept falling.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE: Himachal Pradesh 308/7 in overs 50 ; BATTING:SL Verma 11(4), P P Jaiswal 1(1): The three batsmen, Prashant Chopra, Paras Dogra and Robin Bist played exceptionally well and the Bengal bowlers looked helpless in front of them. They have put up a massive total and it will be a tough challenge for Bengal to chase that.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE: Himachal Pradesh 60/1 in overs 20 ; BATTING: Prashant Chopra 82(87), Robin Bist 54 (77): The bengal bowlers need wickets need wicket here as both the batsmen look set. Only Dinda has been successful with the ball so far and they need to restrict Himachal within a low score in order to make it easy for their batsmen.
