Jammu and Kashmir vs Kerala Live Score, Ranji Trophy 2024-25 quarterfinal Day 5 (Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Team vs Kerala Cricket Team): Hello and welcome to the live blog of the fifth day’s play of the ongoing Ranji Trophy 2024-25 quarterfinal match between Jammu and Kashmir vs Kerala. The match is taking place at Maharashtra Cricket Association Association Stadium in Pune and is streaming live on the Jio Cinema app and website.
Skipper Paras Dogra led by example with a fine century and helped Jammu and Kashmir set Kerala a stiff target of 399 on the fourth day.
After Dogra made 132 to power J&K to 399 for nine in their second innings, Kerala reached 100 for two at stumps with Akshay Chandran and captain Sachin Baby batting on 32 and 19, respectively.
Medium pacer Yudhvir Singh (2/31) picked both the wickets in Kerala’s second innings.
Rohan Kunnummal made a breezy 36 off 39 balls before getting caught by Kanhaiya Wadhawan for J&K’s first breakthrough. Kunnummal struck seven boundaries during his stay in the middle, but Shoun Roger (6) was dismissed cheaply to leave Kerala at 70 for two.
Chandran, who faced 100 balls for his 32, in the company of Baby then saw off the remaining overs.
Kerala will enter the final day’s play requiring 299 runs to pull off a miracle win.
Jammu and Kashmir will, however, fancy their chances as they have the bowlers to put Kerala under pressure on a fifth day pitch and with plenty of runs to defend.
