Pheiroijam Jotin was the pick of the Manipur bowlers as he returned figures of 5/79.
Manipur then batted 64 over until stumps where they managed to hold out against the Meghalaya bowlers for the most part. Karnajit Yumnam batted throughout for his 93 not out (186 balls, 13x4s), while Ronald Longjam made 35 (117 balls, 7x4s). Bashid Muhammed was retired hurt on 16.
