Jammu & Kashmir collapse for 111 in second innings, Iran Cup final

In the second innings of the Iranian Cup final, Jammu & Kashmir’s batting line‑up could not recover from early setbacks. After a promising 54‑run stand between Kamran Iqbal (32) and Shubham Khajuria (36), both were dismissed by Akashdeep, exposing the middle order to relentless pressure.

Captain Paras Dogra, who had scored a half‑century in the first innings, returned without adding to the scoreboard. Abdul Samad managed only 20 runs, wicket‑keeper Kanhaiya Vadhwan contributed 2, and the lower order offered little resistance, with Sahil Lotra out for a duck and others scoring single digits.

The total of 111 was far short of the 279 required, and Rest of India comfortably wrapped up the match, sealing a 167‑run victory and the tournament crown.
