Assam: First Day’s Play Of Nuruddin Senior Inter District Cricket Called Off Due To Rain

GOALPARA: Rain has disrupted opening day’s play in Nuruddin Senior Inter District Cricket at Goalpara on Monday. The match between Guwahati and Goalpara had to be called off due to the prevailing weather conditions.

The match will begin on Tuesday if rainfall stops and normal weather conditions take over.

Meanwhile, earlier this month, Guwahati scripted an emphatic 10-wicket victory over NFRSA in the Nuruddin Senior Inter District Cricket tournament held at Goalpara.

Guwahati only required 16 runs to win in the second innings and they reached the target in 5.2 overs without losing a wicket.

Earlier, Kunal Sarma of Guwahati delivered the knockout blow as he took seven wickets in the first innings and also bowled brilliantly in the second innings.

Kunal picked up 5-78 that helped Guwahati restrict NFRSA to a meagre 125 runs in the second innings. In the second innings, Kunal got good support from Rohit Singh who also registered an impressive figure of 4-38. Kunal finished the match with excellent figures of 12-130.

NFRSA, once languishing at 6-45 in the second innings, managed to cross the 100 mark owing to Abhilash Gogoi and Kunal Saikia's cameo of 56 runs and 29 runs respectively. The duo tried to give a little resistance, adding 46 runs on the seventh wicket.

However, once the partnership was broken, Guwahati quickly wrapped up NFRSA’s innings.
