Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Bengal stormed into the quarter-finals of 2025/26 Ranji Trophy after thrashing Services by an innings and 46 runs in their Elite Group C clash at the Bengal Cricket Academy ground on Sunday.

Resuming the proceedings on the final day’s play, Bengal needed barely 20 minutes to complete the formalities as Mohammed Shami returned with figures of 5-51 to hasten Services’ collapse on Saturday. Services, who folded for 166 in the first innings, managed 349 in their second essay but still fell well short.

Aditya Kumar tried to put in some resistance but fell for 26 to Shahbaz Ahmed, while Amarjeet Singh was dismissed for a 19-ball duck by Akash Deep. Jayant Goyat was left stranded on 68 not out as Services were bowled out for 287 in 75 overs.
