An excellent display of seam and spin bowling by Odisha helped the hosts take the upper hand in their fifth-round game of Ranji Trophy in Cuttack on Wednesday. The Elite Group A match at Barabati Stadium witnessed a remarkable turn of events on the opening day as Maharashtra's decision to bat first after winning the toss backfired.
The Ankit Bawne-led visitors were bundled out for a paltry 162 runs in just 54 overs before tea.
