Punjab bundle out Jammu and Kashmir for paltry 62

Patiala, Nov 1 (UNI) Hosts Punjab skittled out Jammu and Kashmir junior cricket team for a paltry 62 in the Polly Umrigar Trophy (Under-15) at the Dhruv Pandove Cricket Stadium here today.

J and K won the toss and elected to bat on a placid wicket. The Punjab bowlers made an aggresive start and the wickets fell like nine pins.

Ashish Rathore with 17, B Mohammad (13) and Owais Shah (10) showed some resistance, while the other batsmen surrendered meekly.

For Punjab, Gurinder Singh took 3 for 14, Bhavish Goyal 2 for 10 and Sandeep Singh captured 2 for 13 to demolish J and K team.

In reply, Punjab piled up 261 for 2 and sent the J and K bowlers on a leather hunt. Pargat Singh scored a breezy century and his 116 was a treat to watch. Ankit Pursherthy (71 not out) and Amandeep Bawa (59) were the other batsmen to pay scant respect to J and K bowlers.

The 3-day tie will resume tomorrow.
