ScorecardFile photo – Harbhajan Singh bowled 15 wicketless overs against Saurashtra•ESPNcricinfo LtdSixteen wickets fell at the Feroz Shah Kotla as Delhi closed in on a massive win over Gujarat. Resuming on 34 for 1 in reply to Delhi’s 425, Gujarat folded for 150, with left-arm spinner Varun Sood grabbing four wickets. Eight Gujarat batsmen reached double figures but they only managed a top score of 22.Made to follow on, Gujarat began their second innings with a rapid opening stand of 53 between Samit Gohel and Priyank Panchal. The wicket of Gohel in the 10th over began a collapse that saw them lose four wickets for the addition of just two runs. Smit Patel and Chirag Gandhi stemmed the loss of wickets briefly, with a 28-run fifth-wicket stand, before both fell in the space of four overs. Jesal Karia and Rush Kalaria then added 46 for the seventh wicket before Sood trapped Kalaria lbw to pick up his fifth wicket of the innings. All seven second-innings wickets fell to spin, with offspinner Shivam Sharma picking up the other two.
ScorecardOdisha were left on the cusp of victory after their seamers bundled Haryana out for their second low score of the match in Lahli. Declaring on their overnight 232 for 9, with a lead of 105, Odisha bowled Haryana out for 143 in their second innings. Avi Barot and Nitin Saini gave Haryana a 42-run opening stand and Amit Mishra made 37 at No. 9, but there were few other contributions of note as the medium-pacers revelled yet again. Deepak Behera finished with four wickets while Basant Mohanty picked up two. Left to chase a target of 39, Odisha lost Natraj Behera in the first over and were 8 for 1 at stumps.
ScorecardA big century from S Badrinath helped Vidarbha gallop along at four runs an over in their second innings and declare to set Rajasthan a target of 405 in Jaipur. At stumps, Rajasthan were 33 for 1, having lost opener Siddharth Saraf in the fourth over of their innings.Vidarbha’s innings didn’t get off to a great start, losing Aniruddha Chore and Faiz Fazal within the first ten overs. Fazal was lbw to Aniket Choudhary for a 31-ball duck. Ganesh Satish and Badrinath put on 80 for the third wicket before Choudhary struck again to dismiss Satish for 32. This brought the first-innings centurion Shalabh Shrivastava to the crease, and he proceeded to add 191 with Badrinath at 4.66 runs an over. Shrivastava made 75 off 110 balls, with 11 fours, and fell two overs before Vidarbha declared with Badrinath unbeaten on 152 off 203 balls, having struck 19 fours.
ScorecardA century from Sagar Jogiyani and solid contributions from the rest of Saurashtra’s top three highlighted another bat-dominated day in Rajkot. Saurashtra moved to 281 for 1 in response to Punjab’s daunting 659 before they lost three wickets in a clump late in the day. At stumps, Saurashtra trailed by 351 with Sheldon Jackson and Kamlesh Makvana at the crease.Resuming on 27 for 0, Saurashtra’s openers extended their partnership to 101 before left-arm spinner Rajwinder Singh bowled Bhushan Chauhan for 49. That was Punjab’s only wicket for a long time, as Jogiyani and Arpit Vasavada batted through the next 54.2 overs and put on 180, before they fell at the same score, in the space of six balls. Vasavada made 78 off 156 balls, with seven fours, and Jogiyani 145 off 283, with 16 fours and two sixes. Punjab struck once again before stumps to get rid of the Saurashtra captain Jaydev Shah.

CSA extends Domingo contract

Russell Domingo, South Africa’s head coach, has been given an extension till April 2016

ESPNcricinfo staff13-Sep-2014Russell Domingo, South Africa’s head coach, has been given an extension till April 2016. CSA reached a unanimous decision on extending Domingo’s original two-year contract, which would have ended in April 2015.The decision to keep Domingo on was taken at Cricket South Africa’s AGM in Johannesburg on Saturday. Following the meeting, a CSA statement said the board had a net profit of R199 million (US$ 18m) in the last financial year, and termed that to be a good return given the shortening of India’s tour in December-January. “We are extremely satisfied with the results especially in the light of the unfortunate curtailment of the Indian tour,” CSA president Chris Nenzani said.Russell Domingo will continue as South Africa coach until April 2016•AFPTeam manager Mohammed Moosajee’s contract was also extended at the meeting.Domingo’s tenure had got off to a rough start when they were drubbed 4-1 in Sri Lanka in July. He had said then Sri Lanka was a “hell of a tough place to tour”, but in 2014, they secured their maiden ODI series in the country and capped it with a determined stonewalling effort in Colombo to reclaim the No.1 ranking in Tests. As they had done in Johannesburg against India where they had almost sneaked through to an unlikely victory, South Africa absorbed everything the Rangana Herath-led attack had to offer to save their 1-0 lead.They had also come from behind in the UAE to level the two-Test series with Pakistan and take the ODIs by an authoritative 4-1 margin. They blanked world champions India in a three-match ODI series in December and most recently defeated Australia in the final of the one-day tri-series in Zimbabwe.Australia had also handed them a low during a hotly-contested Test series in February-March this year, when South Africa went down 2-1 at home. Also, an ICC trophy remained out of South Africa’s reach when they fumbled in the semi-final of the World T20.

Marvan Atapattu appointed Sri Lanka head coach

Marvan Atapattu has been named Sri Lanka’s head coach following the resignation of Paul Farbrace earlier this week

Among Atapattu’s major challenges will be accounting for the knowledge England already possess of the Sri Lanka team, through Paul Farbrace’s England appointment•AFP

Marvan Atapattu has been named Sri Lanka’s interim head coach, following the resignation of Paul Farbrace earlier this week. Ruwan Kalpage, Sri Lanka’s fielding coach and former offspinner, has been appointed his assistant. The appointments were for Sri Lanka’s upcoming tour of the Ireland and England as well as the home series against South Africa to follow, SLC confirmed on Friday.Atapattu had applied for the head coach position when Graham Ford had announced he would vacate the job, and had progressed to the final round of interviews in November, before Farbrace was appointed. Atapattu has been Sri Lanka’s batting coach since for three years, and had been assistant coach since March 2013.He has earned a reputation for his technical acumen – as a coach, as he had been as a player – but he was deemed unready for head coach role late last year. Both Farbrace and Ford, however, have publicly lauded his work ethic.The appointments had been made on the recommendations of a three-man coach selection committee, which consists of chief selector Sanath Jayasuriya, head of coaching Jerome Jayaratne, and cricket committee chairman Ranjit Fernando. In the days following Farbrace’s departure Jayasuriya had issued strong signals Atapattu would be named interim coach, as the fast-approaching tour did not allow SLC enough time to make a more permanent appointment.”We should look to give responsibility to Marvan, because he’s been around for a few years,” Jayasuriya had said. “The bowling and fielding coaches will also have to take a lot of responsibility.”Among the most difficult aspects of Atapattu’s job will be devising an effective strategy against an opponent who now possesses intimate knowledge of Sri Lanka’s strengths, weaknesses and team dynamics, thanks to Farbrace’s appointment as England assistant coach. Sri Lanka have not won a Test in England since 2006, but this tour represents a good opportunity to improve that record, while England themselves seek to rebuild after a disastrous winter.”Farbrace knows inside out about Sri Lanka’s cricketers, and that’s the biggest challenge for us,” Jayasuriya said. “He knows our batsmen and bowlers from top to bottom, and what we have been discussing in the last four or five months. I hope Marvan, Ruwan, the bowling coach can do a lot of work with the senior cricketers and come out of this situation.”The ODIs in the tour are also a vital step en route to the 2015 World Cup, as Sri Lanka do not play outside Asia for six months, following that series. The team leaves the country on May 2, to play two ODIs in Dublin, before moving on to three practice matches in England.Sri Lanka play four Tests, ten ODIs and a T20 international in their two upcoming series. The trip to England is the most important away tour in the year, before their most high-profile home-assignment, against the top-ranked Test team, begins in July.

Vohra, Gurinder give DAV easy opening win

Manan Vohra hit 62 off 39 to help defending champions DAV College, Chandigarh, get off to a winning start in the Red Bull Campus Cricket national finals, against Chennai’s SRM University. Vohra’s half-century powered DAV to 170 for 5 in their 20, before left-arm spinner Gurinder Singh claimed a five-for to derail SRM’s chase.DAV chose to bat and were provided a fine start by their opening pair of Vohra – who made headlines last month when he was retained ahead of the IPL 2014 auction by Kings XI Punjab – and Jaskaran Singh, who was the player of the series in the last year’s Red Bull national finals. They put on 104 in under 13 overs, before No. 3 Ankit Kaushik steered the late flourish with 31 not out off 21. He did not receive much support – SRM did manage to strike with regularity towards the end – but the middle-order batsmen managed a big hit each to get the team up to 170.Opener Shahjahan provided the only contribution of note in the chase, with 50 off 45. The other opener, R Pradip Kumar, was run out in the second over, and the middle order was carved up by Gurinder, who took 5 for 25 in his four. Apart from Shahjahan, only two batsmen got into double digits, and neither of them touched 20. SRM were bowled out with three balls to spare, 52 adrift of their target.The win means DAV are through to the semi-finals, on February 6, while SRM are out of the competition.

Delhi, Pune look for turnaround

Preview for the match between Delhi Daredevils and Pune Warriors in Raipur

The Preview by Rachna Shetty in Raipur27-Apr-2013Match factsSunday, April 28, 2013Start time 2000 IST (1430 GMT)Mahela Jayawardene will hope a change of scenery will bring good fortune to Delhi Daredevils•BCCI

Big PictureWith the tournament only half complete, the match between Delhi Daredevils and Pune Warriors is not quite the battle of the wooden spoons. But both teams will be looking to haul their sputtering campaigns back on track after poor shows in their last respective games.Daredevils squandered any confidence gained from beating Mumbai Indians by losing to Kings XI Punjab. It was a showing consistent with their other six losses in the tournament so far, making the win seem an aberration. The team is still hopeful but their poor run has put them in a place where they have to win each remaining match.Daredevils will be hoping there will be some serendipity for them in Raipur, which hosts its first IPL match. The stadium had hosted one stage of the BCCI’s Corporate Trophy earlier in the year, and the batsmen did well on the surface.For Warriors, the game will be an indicator of whether their players have recovered from the mauling they received from Chris Gayle in their last match. Coach Allan Donald spoke about the mental scarring, but the team has had a few days off to rest and pick up the pieces. Their mix-and-match captaincy formula has hurt them but against Daredevils, their bowling will have a chance to make an impact early on.Form guideDelhi Daredevils LWLLL (most recent first)
Pune Warriors LLLWLPlayers to watchBhuvneshwar Kumar was the only bowler spared from the hammering that Chris Gayle meted out. The youngster has impressed throughout the tournament, picking up early wickets, with his swing bowling. He has plenty of skill to trouble Daredevils’ fragile top order.Mahela Jayawardene has always led from the front and his stint as captain with the Daredevils is no different. He’s taken the flak for some under-par performances and his own batting has been poor. Daredevils need an inspirational performance from him to improve their sinking chances.Stats and triviaDaredevils have won two of the four games they played against Warriors, with one being a no resultVirender Sehwag is the seventh highest run-getter in the IPL, with 2051 runs from 71 matches at an average of 31.07. Yuvraj Singh needs 13 runs to reach 2500 T20 runs. Ross Taylor needs 42 runs to reach 1000 IPL runs
