NAGPUR: Though opener Aman Mokhade and No.3 Yash Rathod were involved in a handsome 139-run partnership for the second wicket, Vidarbha could not post a defendable total and face a defeat at the hands of Jammu and Kashmir in under-25 state-A Trophy in Rajkot on Wednesday.
Batting first, Vidarbha made 244 for 8 in 50 overs after Aman (89) and Yash (49) gave a desired start. The middle-order could not capitalize on the century partnership and Vidarbha lost the plot. Wicketkeeper Aniket Pande (51 not out) did well to quick runs after a collapse.
