Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Quarterfinal Live Score: MP beats Saurashtra by 6 wickets; Baroda 121/4 (16), Hardik Pandya falls for 10 vs Bengal

Kanishk Seth gets the massive wicket of Hardik Pandya. He gets him out caught at backward point. The star all-rounder could only score 10 in his innings. Bengal bowlers have completely changed the game in the middle overs.

A productive over for MP against Panwar. Two sixes on the offside, one each from Bhatia and Venkatesh puts MP within touching distance of the win. 

Unadkat removes the dangerous Patidar for 28 off 18 balls. MP managing to prevent the run rate from going beyond control. The team needs 24 off 12 balls. 

Another wicket for Pradipta Pramanik, Krunal Pandya is caught. Shivalik Sharma has joined Hardik at crease. Bengal has controlled the scoring rate in the last four overs. Sakshaim has completed his quota of overs. 

Patidar and Venkatesh take 12 runs off the Panwar over after a quiet over from Dharmendrasinh Jadeja. MP needs 43 off 24 with two set batters at the crease. 

Two quick wickets for Baroda as Shashwat Rawat too falls off the first ball of Pradipta Pramanik. Krunal and Hardik Pandya are at the crease. Runs have dried up in the last two overs. 

Saurashtra loses Prerak to an ankle strain after he slips while trying to stop a ball hit in his direction. Patidar lofts Sammar Gajjar over the boundary for six leave the equation at 61 to win off 36 balls.

Senapati’s pull shot finds the fielder at the fence. Jani picks up the wicket. Skipper Rajat Patidar joins Venkatesh in the middle. MP needs 72 runs in 43 balls.

End of the PowerPlay, Baroda has had a sedate start but hasn’t lost a wicket yet. There was an appeal turned out for LBW against Shashwat, and on review, he survived on umpire’s call. Fifty runs on board. 

A couple of tight overs from Mankad and Jani has brought the runrate down. MP needs 103 runs in 66 balls. 

An expensive over by Shami, 18 runs from the third over as Shashwat Rawat hit him for a six and a four. There was a brief delay as well after Abishek Porel was hit on the finger while keeping.

After a blazing 29-ball 42, Arpit Gaud holes out to deep midwicket in the first ball of Prerak Mankad’s spell. Venkatesh Iyer joins Senapati. 

Despite losing Harsh Gawli to a top-edge, Subhranshu Senapati and Arpit Gaud take MP past fifty within the PowerPlay.
