Replying to Jharkhand's 177\/6, hosts had Sreevats Goswami to thank once again as the dimunitive southpaw struck a fluent 81 off just 53 balls to steer his side to victory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Abhishek Raman (37) and Pramod Chandila (37) played cameos as Bengal won by five wickets with five balls to spare.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Earlier, Saurabh Tiwary (44) and Virat Singh (42) helped post a decent 177 with Bengal pacer Ashok Dinda returning figures of 2\/28.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In the other East Zone match at the Eden, Pallavkumar Das' 51 helped Assam record a win over Odisha who put up 143\/7 on the board.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Biplab Samatray (50) scored a half century for Odisha but leg-spinner Amit Verma bowled well for his 3\/19 to restrict his rivals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In another Central Zone tie played in Jaipur, Ambati Rayudu's Vidarbha scripted a four-wicket win over Praveen Kumar's Uttar Pradesh.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Eklavya Dwivedi (61) helped Uttar Pradesh post 169\/4 batting first with the help of Akshdeep Nath who was unbeaten at 56.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

But Vidarbha had other plans despite losing wickets at regular intervals as a seventh-wicket partnership between Apoorv Wankhade (27) and Shrikant Wagh (14) proved to be decisive in the end.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

There were contributions from Rayudu (37) and Ganesh Satish (33) also.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Wicketkeeper batsman Dishant Yagnik notched up 60 too as the Railways bowlers struggled to contain the hosts despite Manjeet Singh (3\/16) and Amit Mishra (3\/30) picking up wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Saurabh Wakaskar played well for his 55 for the Railways but veteran Pankaj Singh bowled economically giving away just 18 runs in his four overs to put a spanner on the Railways' works.<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2017\/02\/saurabh-tiwary.jpg", "alt_img": "Syed Mushtaq Ali Eastern Zone Twenty20", "alt_title": "Saurabh Tiwary", "image1": "", "video": "", "seo_title": "Bengal beat Jharkhand by five wickets in Syed Mushtaq Ali", "seo_desc": "Bengal beat Jharkhand by five wickets in Syed Mushtaq AliKolkata, Feb 5 (CRICKETNMORE): Bengal ended their Syed Mushtaq Ali Eastern Zone Twenty20 cricket tourna", "seo_keywords": "Saurabh Tiwary, Syed Mushtaq Ali Eastern Zone Twenty20", "tag": "", "tagging": "", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "0", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": "0", "slug": "bengal-beat-jharkhand-by-five-wickets-in-syed-mushtaq-ali", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": "0000-00-00", "ians_time": "00:00:00", "server_time": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "trash": "0", "view_count": "2898", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "0", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2017-02-05 19:46:00", "updated": "2017-02-05 19:46:00", "img_from": "", "img_source": "", "schedule_publish": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "news_keywords": null, "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "0", "google_feed": "0", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "1", "jio_date": "2017-02-05 19:46:00", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": "2017-02-05 19:46:00", "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "england_cricket": "0", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/bengal-beat-jharkhand-by-five-wickets-in-syed-mushtaq-ali-23610" }
