HUBBALLI (Karnataka), Feb 27: A by-the-book pacer Auqib Nabi and an unorthodox opener Qamran Iqbal blended their skills to place Jammu and Kashmir in a prime position to lift their maiden Ranji Trophy title against Karnataka on the penultimate day of the five-day final here on Friday. Iqbal (94 not out) struck his seventh first-class fifty as Jammu and Kashmir reached 186 for four at stumps in their second innings, for an overall lead of 477 runs.

Key Highlights

  • In the earlier part of the day, Nabi took his seventh five-wicket haul (5/54) of the season as J&K bowled out Karnataka for 293, grabbing an innings lead of 291 runs.
  • Karnataka’s first innings revolved around a valiant 160 off 266 balls by former skipper Mayank Agarwal but in the context of the match the knock remained a rather insignificant one.
  • Nabi was the primary reason behind confining Agarwal’s fine hundred to the shades.
  • The J&K pacer was in his elements once Karnataka resumed from overnight 220 for five.
  • Overhauling J&K’s 584 was out of bounds, but Karnataka’s realistic hope was to whittle down the deficit as much as possible and then try to chase a reasonable target in the fourth innings.
