Goa completed an innings-and-177-run victory over Bihar in the Ranji Trophy on November 4 at the Panjim Gymkhana Ground in Panaji. The BCCI match centre records the contest as completed on its third day.
Snehal Kauthankar made 178 from 282 balls and was named player of the match. His contribution formed the centre of Goa’s first-innings total of 397 after the hosts won the toss and chose to bat.
Bihar’s first innings ended at 107, leaving a deficit of 290. Asked to follow on, the visitors could manage only 113 in 45.3 overs, so Goa did not need to bat a second time.
The result settled a match originally scheduled for November 2–5. Kauthankar’s innings supplied almost half of Goa’s runs, while Bihar’s combined total across both innings remained well short of the home side’s score.
