Bengal skipper Manoj Tiwary was extremely critical of the pitch during his team’s six-wicket win over Jammu & Kashmir in the Vijay Hazare Trophy on Thursday.
In a rain-curtailed match at the Sri Sivasubramaniya Nadar College of Engineering Ground, Jammu & Kashmir were bowled out for 96 in 23.4 overs. In reply, Bengal lost just four wickets before reaching the target in a little over 20 overs.
After the match, Tiwary took to Twitter to express his displeasure at the playing conditions -
In the other match of the competition, Jharkhand spinner Shahbaz Nadeem Thursday broke a two-decade-old world record for best bowling figures in List A cricket, with an incredible haul of 8/10 against Rajasthan.
