CHANDIGARH, Sept 29: Chandigarh were in the driver8217;s seat against Ropar on the opening day of their two-day Punjab Inter-District Katoch Shield cricket tournament here at the PCA Stadium today.

After bundling out Ropar for 140, Chandigarh were 130 for one off 27 overs at the close of play. Skipper Dinesh Mongia was well within sight of a well deserved century and keeping him company was opener Jaspreet Singh on a resolute 40.

Only Ajit Pal Singh, who came up with a fighting 65, showed guts to stay at the wicket. For Chandigarh, Jaideep Singh, vying for a comeback to the Punjab Ranji squad in Bharti Vij8217;s absence, bowled well. The two off-spinners, Sanjay Dhull and Jaisreet Singh were equally impressive, though Dhull had only one wicket to Jaisreet8217;s three.

Dinesh Mongia hit boundaries at will after Chandigarh lost Yuvraj cheaply.Scores: Ropar Ist innings 140 Ajit Pal 65, Jaideep 3-34, Jaisreet 3-12, Harminder Kaku 2-20. Chandigarh Ist innings: 130 for 1 Dinesh Mongia 82 n.o., Jaspreet Singh 40 n.o.
