Vijay Hazare Trophy 2018: Hooda, Unadkat shine as Delhi, Karnataka suffer shock defeats

Despite a few rain-truncated games, the action continued in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, with a couple of high-scoring games and tight finishes lighting up the day. Delhi lost their first game of the tournament, losing out to Odisha in a tight game despite an unlikely 10th wicket stand between Suboth Bhati and Navdeep Saini.

Elsewhere, out of favour India pacer Jaydev Unadkat took a four-wicket haul in Saurashtra's win, while CSK and IPL player Ankush Bains starred with an unbeaten 173 for Himachal Pradesh.

Karnataka skittled to yet another loss, despite a star-studded line-up, to hand Baroda a win.

Here's the summary of the day's action:
