Is match ki script pehle hi din se Sudip Gharami ne likhni shuru kar di thi. Unhone 299 runs ki aisi pahad jaisi innings kheli jisne Andhra ke bowlers ka moral tod kar rakh diya. Halanki wo apne triple century se sirf 1 run door reh gaye lekin unka ye kaam Bengal ko 629 runs ke vishal score tak pahunchane ke liye kaafi tha. Anustup Majumdar ke bajaye Gandhi ne bhi 95 runs ka yogdan diya jo team ke liye bahut bada plus point raha.
Jab bowling ki baari aayi to Bengal ke pace battery ne pehli innings mein kohram macha diya. Mukesh Kumar ne 5 wickets chatkaye aur Akash Deep ne 4 wickets lekar Andhra ko 295 par hi rok diya.
