Dinda stars as East clinch Deodhar title

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 04 Desember 2014 | 21.24

MUMBAI: It was Ashok Dinda's woeful T20 performance against England a couple of years ago at the Wankhede that got the selectors' goat. Bowling the last over, the Bengal paceman conceded 12 runs, allowing the visitors to chase down 177 and level the series.

To add insult to injury, Eoin Morgan hit him for a six off the last ball.

Dinda was part of the XI that lost to the same team a few days later in an ODI in Rajkot, but his performance in Mumbai played a vital role in his wilderness from the Indian side since.

It was at the same Wankhede on Wednesday evening that the enigmatic Dinda breathed fire against West Zone in the Deodhar Trophy final, taking 4 for 33, as East Zone won by 24 runs to take the title, defending 269-8 in an absorbing contest.

Dinda accounted for openers Smit Patel (4 runs, 11 balls), Sheldon Jackson (7 runs, 18 balls, 1x4) and the No 3 Ambati Rayudu (16 runs, 22 balls, 3x4), reducing West to 37-3 in the 11th over.

Kedar Jadhav (97 runs, 91 balls, 8x4, 3x6) put up a valiant fight but his knock was not enough to help the hosts retain the title. Jadhav put on 74 for the fourth wicket with Ankit Bawne (28 runs, 59 balls, 1x4) and thereafter made the most of the reprieve that came his way when he was batting on 68.

Kumar Deobrat made a mess of a simple chance at long on as bowler Saurasish Lahiri was left holding his head in his hand. He got out three short of a well-deserved ton when he was bowled by Biplab Samantray, attempting a wild heave. By then he had put on 84 in the company of Suryakumar Yadav.

Yadav (35 runs, 54 balls) tried to shore things up with Axar Patel, the hero of the last game and Shardul Thakur, but Dinda was at it again when he got rid of the Mumbai captain with West still needing 27 runs for victory.

Earlier, East Zone backed themselves to put up a challenging total after winning the toss. But they found themselves scrambling for cover straight away with both the openers, Ishank Jaggi (2 runs, 12 balls) and Shreevats Goswami (0, 8 balls), back in the hut by the fourth over with only five runs on the board.

They eventually reached a fighting 269-8, thanks largely to the efforts of the middle-order, which was once again brilliantly marshalled by skipper Manoj Tiwary who hit 75 (92b, 3x4, 4x6).

Jharkhand's Virat Sigh, all of 16-years of age, managed a gutsy 54 (84b, 6x4) while Orissa's Samantray provided the final flourish with 60 (50b, 7x4, 1x6).

Brief scores: East Zone 269-8 (Virat Singh 54, Manoj Tiwary 75, BB Samantray 60; Dhawal Kulkarni 2-35) beat West Zone 245 (Kedar Jadhav 97, Surya Yadav 35; Dinda 433) by 24 runs.
