Led by a match-saving knock from opener Pravej Musaraf, Assam eked out a draw and a point against Chhattisgarh in their Elite Group D Ranji Trophy match in Raipur on Saturday.
Trailing by 153 runs to the hosts' mammoth first-innings total of 500 and with nine wickets in hand, Assam batters put on display their patience and discipline to play through most part of Day 4 at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium. Riding a crucial knock of 94 by Masaraf - and aided by a useful half-century by Sibsankar Roy (55) and a 43 from Sumit Ghadigaonkar, Assam set Chhattisgarh a target of 69 to win the match.
