Manipur grabbed three points courtesy of their first-innings lead as their Plate Group Ranji Trophy match against Mizoram ended in a draw on Sunday.
Riding on knocks of Nitesh (95) and Narsingh Yadav (47), Manipur had posted 197 in their first innings and then the state trio of Bishworjit (3 wkts), Priyojit K (3) and Kishan (2) bowled well to bundle out Mizoram for 127 in their first innings to take the first innings lead.
In their second innings, Manipur amassed 425/9 with contributions from key run-getters Al Bashid (150), Johnson (95), Priyojit (50) and Kishan(46) .
However, Mizoram instead of going for the target, batted out 104.5 overs to clinch a draw on the final day, scoring 302/8 with Uday Kaul unbeaten on 88, Iqbal Abdulla collecting 81 and Taruwar Kohli finishing with 69 .
