Resuming at overnight 85/1 in response to Tripura's 136 all out, Assam amassed the huge total riding on Jadhav's 301-ball knock and Tarjinder Singh's 99.

Assam would have felt they had a chance to get back in the match when Gautam Gambhir (5) fell cheaply, too eager to dominate the bowling from the outset and holing out as a result. With two selectors in Vikram Rathour and Saba Karim watching the proceedings, Gambhir wouldn't have been happy with his effort.

For Assam, only captain and opener Dheeraj Jadhav put up a semblance of fight with a stoic 150-ball 69 before he became Rassol's second victim and third of his team.
