A responsible half-century by captain and stumper Panakala Mokshit proved in vain as Odisha lost to Punjab by 83 runs in their opening Elite Group-B match of the Vinoo Mankad Trophy U-19 One-day match at CAP Ground-3 in Puducherry today. Subhasis Mallick was another notable performer for Odisha, bagging three wickets and scoring 25 runs.
