Duo’s century stand lifts them to 217/5 after early setbacks
Panaji: Captain Aryan Narvekar and Dishank Misquin struck half-centuries to guide Goa to 217 for five on the opening day of their Colonel CK Nayudu Trophy Elite four-day match against Bihar at the Rajgir International Cricket Stadium on Monday.
Goa were struggling at 40 for three before Aryan and Dishank steadied the innings with a century partnership, taking the visitors past 140 and laying the foundation for a recovery.
Aryan made 60 off 138 balls, hitting four boundaries and two sixes, while Dishank remained unbeaten on 62 off 207 deliveries, including six boundaries.
Wicketkeeper-batter Chittem Jeevankumar added 43 to keep Goa moving after Aryan’s dismissal. At stumps, Dishank was unbeaten alongside Anuj Yadav, who was batting on seven, as Goa looked to build a substantial first-innings total on day two.
Sudhanshu Kumar and Rahul Kumar claimed two wickets apiece for Bihar, while Utkarsh Kumar took one.
