Chennai, Oct 3 (PTI) Haryana defeated Gujarat by 44 runs in the Vijay Hazare Trophy Elite Group 'C' league here Wednesday while Tamil Nadu registered a crushing eight-wicket win over Tripura.

In the Haryana-Gujarat match, the former made 247 for 7 in 50 overs with Himanshu Rana hitting 67 (4X4, 2X6). In reply, Gujarat lost opener Priyank Panchal (2) off the third ball of the innings.

The Haryana spinners kept the Gujarat batsmen on a leash and also took wickets at regular intervals. India discard Jayant Yadav (3 for 35) was the most successful of the bowlers while leggie Yuzvendra Chahal, who is aiming to break into the national Test squad, took 1 for 34 in his 10-over spell.

In the Tamil Nadu-Tripura match, the former elected to bat after winning the toss, but frittered away the opportunity by being bowled out for 196 in 46.4 overs despite Smit Patel's enterprising knock of 60.

In response, N Jagadeesan and Abhinav Mukund provided Tamil Nadu a flying start and added 135 runs in 122 balls for the first wicket.

Mukund was in superb touch as he got runs in style, cracking 13 boundaries apart from six sixers to power the team home.

However, India Test discard Murali Vijay failed to impress as he was castled by left-arm spinner Harmeet Singh for just three runs.

In the other match, Jammu & Kashmir put it across Team Rajasthan by three wickets, reaching the revised target of 179 in the 36th and final over after a rain interruption during the lunch interval.
