Guwahati has established a commanding position over Tinsukia following the second day of their semifinal clash in the Nuruddin Ahmed Trophy Senior Inter-District Cricket Tournament 2026-27 Elite Group. The match, held at the ACA Cricket Stadium in Umrangso, saw Guwahati take firm control despite weather-related disruptions.

Kunal Sarma and Ayushman Malakar were lethal, each claiming four wickets. Sarma finished with exceptional figures of 4 for 15, while Malakar secured 4 for 28.
In response, Guwahati’s batsmen capitalized on their momentum, posting a total of 247 runs in 62.3 overs. This performance granted them a significant first-innings lead of 149 runs. Pradyun Saikia anchored the innings with a stellar 90 runs, supported by Akash Sengupta who added 36. Tinsukia’s Raj Agarwal stood out with the ball, taking an impressive 6 for 101, while Subham Kumar Gupta chipped in with 2 for 27. Tinsukia began their second innings facing a massive deficit but struggled to find their footing before the day was cut short. Tinsukia reached 8 for one in five overs at the close of play. They currently trail Guwahati by 141 runs. Play was officially halted at 4:40 pm due to deteriorating light conditions, and stumps were called at 5 pm when no further action was possible.
