Hyderabad bowled Kerala out for 182 to win their Ranji Trophy league match at Cochin on Wednesday.

When Kerala started the day, they needed to score 317 runs with 10 wickets in hand.They opted, however, to play for the draw from outset, illustrated best by opener MP Sorab's agonisingly slow 56 off 205 balls. His teammates, however, could not even show that dogged tenacity, and wickets fell at regular intervals.

Sorab became the fourth wicket to fall, with the score on 123. The last six wickets fell for 59 runs, with Venkatapathy Raju (5-66) and Jogram Yadav (4-32) doing maximum damage. Hyderabad, by virtue of their outright win, pick up eight points from this match, while Kerala gain none.
