Samson keeps Kerala in Vijay Hazare Trophy knockout contention

Kerala and Mumbai are on 20 points from six matches though the latter are placed on top of Group ‘A’ on better net run rate. A big win on Tuesday against Railways in their final group game should keep Kerala in the hunt for a knockout berth in the Vijay Hazare one-day tournament. Sanju Samson, who was selected in Indian ODI squad for SA, scored a breezy unbeaten 35 to steer Kerala to a six-wicket win over Pondicherry at Alur Cricket Stadium in Bengaluru.
