As many as eight people died and 20 got injured in three different accidents in Himachal Pradesh on Thursday and Wednesday evening. One of the accidents occurred when `baratis' were going to attend a wedding, and another occurred when they were returning from a wedding in Rohru.

Sweet cameos by Rohit Dahiya (47 from 34 balls, 4x4, 1x6), Jesal Karia (26 off 19 balls) and Akshar Patel (19 off 15 balls) almost made Saurashtra's huge total of 308/7 look quite attainable.
