Dhenkanal rode on a six-wicket haul by Shreyanshu Mohanty to prevail over Puri by eight wickets in their preliminary league match of the OCA U-19 Men Inter-District Cricket Tournament (One-Day Format) at DRIEMS Grounds in Tangi, Cuttack today.
But a six-wicket haul by Nikhil Chndrapar went in vain as Nuapada lost to Bargarh by 28 runs. Bowlers asserted dominance in all six matches of the day as Khushwant S Sandhu scalped five wickets to help Rourkela to a four-wicket win against Ganjam. Cuttack-A, Bhubaneswar-A, Keonjhar and Bargarh registered wins in four other games of the day.
