Bowlers continued to dominate the Bengal-Services Ranji Trophy clash, with the fourth innings beginning on the second day itself. The match is almost certain to produce a result, but the big question is: who will emerge victorious? Bengal appear to have the upper hand, as they need just 10 wickets to win, while Services must score another 197 runs. On a difficult, spin-friendly pitch, chasing down the target will be a formidable challenge.
Bengal fought their way back into the contest against Services on the opening day of their second Ranji Trophy match. After defeating Delhi in their opening game, Bengal suffered an early batting setback against Services. However, their spinners brought them back into the match. The Delhi wicket has been particularly challenging for batters.
It was not just the 4-0 victory over Churchill Brothers that made the defending champions' start to the campaign so impressive. The football they produced in the second half was arguably the best we have seen this season so far.
