KOLKATA: Another batting failure saw Bengal being knocked out of the Vijay Hazare Trophy meet, going down to Haryana by four wickets in the quarterfinals in Rajkot on Monday. Shahbaz Ahmed, who walked in to bat at 70 for 3 in the 18th over, played a lone hand hitting a century, but he did not get enough support at the other end as opener Abhishek Porel's 24 remained Bengal's second highest contribution in a total of 225 in 50 overs. Haryana reached the target on the back of Ankit Kumar's 102, losing six wickets in 45.1 overs.
The side missed Abhimanyu Easwaran as Ranjot Khaira, coming in place of Shakir Gandhi, too failed to provide a good start after Bengal were put in to bat first.
