Guwahati: Himachal Pradesh were sent crashing to 36 all out, the fourth-lowest total in the Ranji Trophy since 2000, by Hyderabad as a staggering 15 wickets fell on Day II of the Group C match here.
None of Himachal's batsmen got into double digits as seamers M Ravi Kiran and Chama Milind ran through the top- order before leg-spinner Akash Bhandari snared four wickets without conceding a run to demolish the tail.
Overnight 8/2, Himachal were bowled out in 25 overs. Hyderabad surpassed Himachal's total with just a wicket down, but seamer Rishi Dhawan picked up six wickets to ensure his team remained in the game.
In New Delhi, Deepak Hooda was left stranded on a monumental 293 off 354 balls as Baroda were all out for 529 in their match against Punjab.
