Meghalaya bowled out Nagaland for 55 runs, securing a 101‑run advantage in the Vijay Merchant Trophy match.
Meghalaya opened their Vijay Merchant Trophy campaign with a commanding performance, dismissing Nagaland for just 55 runs. The low total was a result of disciplined bowling and tight field placements that left the Nagaland batsmen struggling for runs.
Nagaland’s innings collapsed early, losing wickets at regular intervals and never finding momentum. Their top order could not settle, and the team was bowled out well before the allotted overs, leaving them far behind the required score.
With the opposition restricted to 55, Meghalaya posted a total that gave them a 101‑run lead, putting them in a dominant position in the group stage. The sizeable margin not only boosts their confidence but also strengthens their chances of advancing to the knockout rounds of the tournament.
