Misery continued for Odisha in the Cooch Behar Trophy Mens U-19 Cricket Tournament as they crashed to an innings 150-run defeat against Uttarakhand on the penultimate day of their four-day Elite Group-C match at Highlanders Sports Academy in Kashipur, Uttarakhand today.

This was the third successive defeat for the Odisha team which completed an embarrassing hat-trick. Earlier in their first two matches, Odisha lost to Maharashtra by an innings and 250 runs and to Andhra by 253 runs.

Only two players of the Odisha team were able to put up notable performance against Uttarakhand. Piyus Ranjan Mantri scored 61 and 36 in his two innings, while captain Sambit Beja picked up four wickets the only time host Uttarakhand batted.

Odisha will play their last two matches against at Gandhi Stadium in Balangir against Karnataka from December 8 to 11 and Himachal Pradesh from December 16 to 19.
