Bengal defeated Hyderabad by 72 runs for their second successive win in the Ranji Trophy.

Shahbaz Ahmed’s all-round effort to thrash Hyderabad by 72 runs for their second successive win in the Ranji Trophy on Sunday.

CAB President Avishek Dalmiya congratulating the team on their back-to-back wins in Ranji Trophy first against Baroda and now Hyderabad said: “To win is always good, but to win in such dominant fashion is special. I would like to pat the boys for their steely jawed determination especially the way the fast bowlers have been doing their jobs. I also congratulate the entire coaching unit for instilling this belief and winning mentality in the boys.”

Bengal all-rounder Shahbaz Ahamad’s quotes:

Wicket was better to bat in the first innings. Abhishek Porel did well with the bat, I will work harder to convert my innings into big runs. All contributed for the team and we’ve registered a comfortable win, feels good. There was not much for the spinners on this wicket. I cane to bowl because Hyderabad had numbers of left-handed batters and got 3 wickets for my team.

I am obviously enjoying my role in this side. I have been playing the role of an all-rounder for a long time now, always prepared to give my best for my team. I come to bat at seven for Bengal, it’s always crucial spot and I am very happy that I am being able to perform well for Bengal.

The team is upbeat, we are confident about our bowling and batting. We’ll give everything to win the next.

CAB Hony Secretary Snehasish Ganguly lauding the Bengal team for their second straight victory said: “The team won convincingly and with enough daylight left. I urge the team to keep the winning momentum. It’s a habit they should imbibe. I take this opportunity to congratulate the entire Bengal team, Arun Lal, Sourashis Lahiri and the support staff for their incisive planning and implementation of their strategy. They should continue to treat each match by merit.

Ritwick Roychowdhury’s gritty innings deserves mention. Also kudos to the bowling unit who kept us in the match by chipping away at the rivals. Be it Mukesh Kumar in the first innings or Akash Deep in the second they have put their hands up. Shahbaz has also been fabulous with both bat and ball. Sayan Sekhar Mondal also did a great supporting act. One bad session can make all the difference, Ranji Trophy is so tough. So keep doing what you have been doing the last two matches.”
