In a match where Uttar Pradesh batted first due to Bengal skipper Manoj Tiwary’s strategic decision at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur, the visiting team’s pacers, including Ishan Porel, Suraj Sindhu Jaiswal, and Mohammad Kaif, wreaked havoc on the hosts. UP succumbed to the relentless attack and were bundled out for a mere 60 runs in the first innings.
