PUNE: A record double century partnership between Azim Kazi and Ashay Palkar helped Maharashtra claw back from the precipice and post a sizable first-innings lead against Delhi at the MCA stadium in Gahunje here on Wednesday.
Coming together with the team at 94/7 in the 12th over of the day, Kazi (119 batting) and Palkar (94) defied the Delhi attack to add 211 runs during their unbroken stand and put the hosts well beyond safety in the Ranji Trophy Elite 'B' cricket match. At stumps, Maharashtra were 305/7 and led Delhi 114 runs.
