Shillong, Dec 23: Meghalaya’s inspiring performance against big team Hyderabad ended today in defeat by an innings and 56 runs in their U-16 Vijay Merchant Trophy match in Vadodara.
Resuming their second innings on 139/6, Meghalaya could score only 22 more runs before being dismissed for 161.
Justin Fancon added seven more runs to his overnight total to be dismissed for 11, while Gaurav Jyoti Thakuria hit 15.
