Harbhajan Singh

New Delhi: Skipper Harbhajan Singh led from the front with figures of four for 33 as Punjab beat Haryana by five wickets in a Vijay Hazare Trophy Group 'A' encounter here yesterday. This is Punjab's third win in five games, which keeps them in hunt for quarterfinals from this group.

Batting first, Haryana could score only 194 as Harbhajan's three-wicket burst left them reeling at 127 for five from a relatively comfortable 75 for one. Punjab got the runs in 41.4 overs with Gurkeerat Singh Mann again anchoring the chase with an unbeaten 91 off 86 balls and 14 boundaries.
