Odisha under-19 boys suffered an innings 396-run defeat at the hands of Punjab on the third day of their four-day Cooch Behar Trophy Group-C league match at Dhruve Pandove Stadium in Patiala today.

The win fetched Punjab seven points, while Odisha drew blank. This was the first defeat in three matches for Odisha, who will next meet Gujarat from November 29.
