The hero of the day, Devanand, began his act by dismissing dangerman Goutam Gopal in his sixth over. Victim No 2 was Sanjay Kumar Satpaty, who played a half-hearted stroke and Hemang dived in front to complete his second successive catch. Devanand pitched up on the off stump and Shaheed Khan obliged with a push. An alert Vasu at fourth slip moved to his left to take a brilliant one-handed catch and Devanand completed the first hat-trick of his career. ``I am really thrilled that I got it this time as I missed it twice against Railways,'' said an elated Devanand after the match.Orissa (1st innings): 194

Convincing win for Delhi

New Delhi: Delhi spinners Nikhil Chopra (5-41) and Rahul Sanghvi (3-49) required just 25 overs on the final morning to wrap up the Railways second innings for an addition of 61 runs. That left the home team to score a meagre 41 to record an outright victory, which they did, in the Group B Super League match at Kotla here today.
