There is tremendous amount of enthusiasm all over in West Bengal with their team qualifying for the Ranji Trophy final. No. 4 Anustup Majumdar scored 200 in both innings as Bengal crushed Madhya Pradesh by 306 runs in the semi-final to set up the big-ticket clash with Saurashtra starting tomorrow.
Medium pacer Akash Deep and left-arm spinner Pradipta Pramanik also starred with fifers in the first and second innings respectively. Bengal haven’t lifted the coveted trophy since 1989-90.
