Patiala, Dec 12 (UNI) As predicted, Punjab piled up a huge total of 388 for seven against unfancied Karnataka on the second day of the Polly Umrigar Trophy (Under-15) here today.

Overnight 154 for two, Punjab batsmen sent the Karnataka bowlers on a leather hunt. Punjab skipper Mandeep Singh missed his century by a whisker when he was out on 98. His innings contained 12 fours in 171 balls.

Arjun Kumar scored 56 which contained seven boundaries and Vishal Thind too scored a fluent half century (53) hitting seven boundaries.

Pankaj was unbeaten on 26 and the other not out batsman Goyal was yet to score at stumps.

But for Bharat Kundaji, who captured three for 122, none of the Karnataka bowlers could impress.

Karnataka were all out for a paltry 67 yesterday. Punjab has thus taken a lead of 321 and virtually entered the final of the hampionship and tomorrow's play will only be a mere formality.
