However, they got no sort of platform from the rest of the batters, collapsing to 133/8 in 18 overs. Jayanta Behera was the star bowler for Odisha B, scalping three crucial wickets.

In reply, Odisha B were tasked to chase down the target of 46 runs in five overs due to rain. Captain Govinda Poddar and Rakesh Pattanaik stood tall in the chase for Odisha B to take them over the line with eight wickets remaining.
