Povorim, Jan 19 (PTI) Goa dished out a superb rearguard action with Suyash Prabhudessai and Darshan Misal hitting valiant half-centuries to rescue the side from a terrible start against Chandigarh in Ranji Trophy Plate Group, here on Sunday.
Put in, the home side had their backs on the wall with 26 for 6 inside the first hour's play as their top six batsmen departed for single digit scores with Jagjit Singh (5/64) and Shresth Nirmohi (3/38) wreaking havoc.
But it was the Suyash Prabhudessai (90) and Darshan Misal (54) saved them the blushes in a brilliant 133-run seventh wicket partnership as Goa rebuilt their innings to eventually put on board 251.
Their number 11 Vijesh Prabhudessai also contributed handsomely remaining unbeaten on a quickire 37-ball 40 (3x4, 2x6) before being bundled out in 80.3 overs.
In reply, Chandigarh were three for no loss at close on the first day.
Leading the Plate group, Goa have 29 points from five matches as third-placed Chandigarh (23 from five matches) are looking to go level with an outright win.
Only the Plate group toppers qualify for the last-eight.
