J&K Poised for First-Ever Ranji Win Over Delhi After Day Three Surge

They need 114 with eight wickets in hand on a deteriorating Kotla surface that has tilted the contest toward finger spin.

Overview

  • Jammu & Kashmir reached 55 for 2 at stumps on day three, chasing 179, to leave a full final day for the run chase.
  • Delhi posted 277 in their second innings, built on Ayush Badoni’s 72 off 73 balls and Ayush Doseja’s 62 off 88.
  • The hosts lost their last five wickets for just 10 runs in a post-tea slide, setting a target of 179 after leading by 178.
  • Left-arm spinner Vanshaj Sharma led J&K’s attack with 6 for 68, supported by off-spinner Sahil Lotra’s 3 for 73 on a low, turning pitch.
  • Delhi’s spinners struck late as debutant Mannan Bhardwaj bowled Shubham Khajuria and Hrithik Shokeen beat Vivrant Sharma with sharp turn, leaving the chase delicately poised.
