Jadeja's 165 Powers Saurashtra to Vijay Hazare Final
16 Jan
Summary
- Vishvaraj Jadeja scored an unbeaten 165 to lead Saurashtra.
- Saurashtra defeated Punjab by nine wickets in the semi-final.
- The team will now face Vidarbha in the Vijay Hazare Trophy final.
Saurashtra secured a dominant place in the Vijay Hazare Trophy final, thanks to an exceptional unbeaten 165 by Vishvaraj Jadeja. The all-rounder's stellar performance overwhelmed Punjab, whom Saurashtra defeated by nine wickets. This victory sets up a championship match against Vidarbha on Sunday.
Jadeja's innings, complemented by valuable contributions from Harvik Desai and Prerak Mankad, saw Saurashtra comfortably chase down Punjab's score. The Punjab bowlers struggled to contain Saurashtra's aggressive batting, especially under lights, where they found little assistance.
Earlier, Punjab had posted a competitive total, anchored by strong performances from their top order, including a century by Anmolpreet Singh. However, a late collapse, triggered by Chetan Sakariya's bowling, limited their final score, ultimately proving insufficient against Saurashtra's batting prowess.
