Simarjeet's Spell Rattles J&K After Delhi's Batting Collapse
In a cricket match, one team called Delhi didn't score many runs, only making 211.
Their bowlers then did a really good job, especially a player named Simarjeet Singh, who got three batters from the other team, Jammu and Kashmir, out very quickly.
This put Jammu and Kashmir in a tough spot, with only 31 runs and three players out.
However, earlier in the day, a bowler from Jammu and Kashmir named Auqib Nabi was also very successful.
He managed to get five players from Delhi out, helping to stop them from scoring more runs.
So, even though Delhi's bowler did well at the end of the day, the game is still quite open because of how Delhi batted earlier.
Another cricket game is also happening where a team called Mumbai is doing well.
Delhi was bowled out for 211 on Day 1 of their Ranji Trophy match against Jammu and Kashmir.
J&K pacer Auqib Nabi took 5 wickets for 35 runs, dismantling Delhi's lower order.
Delhi's paceman Simarjeet Singh took 3 wickets for 14 runs, reducing J&K to 31 for 3.
Key partnerships for Delhi included 104 runs for the fourth wicket between Ayush Badoni and Ayush Doseja, and 68 runs between Doseja and Sumit Mathur.
In another Ranji Trophy match, Mumbai reached 289 for 5 against Himachal Pradesh, with centuries from Musheer Khan and Siddhesh Lad.
