Medium-pacers put Bengal on top

Bengal's chances of getting back in the reckoning for promotion to the Super League were boosted by a splendid performance from their medium-pacers at Eden Gardens. Tripura chose to bat in Kolkata, but their innings lasted only 26.5 overs. Ranadeb Bose took 5 for 19 in nine overs and was backed up by Ashok Dinda's 3 for 37 and Sourav Sarkar's 2 for 20. Only three batsmen made it to double figures, with Nishit Shetty, the former Mumbai player, scoring 38. Bengal also had a disastrous start - both their openers scored ducks - but Arindam Ghosh and Manoj Tiwary set the platform for a big first-innings lead. Tiwary scored nearly as much as what all of Tripura's batsmen did and was unbeaten on 82 at stumps.
