Harvik Desai (10*) and Vishvaraj Jadeja (8*) have got off Saurashtra to a solid start against Gujarat after being put into bat first. Ravindra Jadeja in the playing XI makes it a even stronger batting line-up for them.

Saurashtra openers - Harvik Desai (36*) and Vishvaraj Jadeja (34*) are going strong against Gujarat at Alur. GUJ will have to break the opening start as early as possible other the strong SAUR batting could even bat them out of the match.

Harvik Desai (55*) and Vishvaraj Jadeja (52*) bring up their half-centuries as Saurashtra goes to 109 in 18 overs. GUJ bowlers have looked toothless so far against the SAUR openers.

Harvik Desai (72*) and Vishvaraj Jadeja (65*) have put a scintillating 139-run stand for SAUR for the 1st wicket and are still going strong. Saurashtra now have the base to put on a massive target for Gujarat at Alur.

Gujarat finally got the wicket of skipper Harvik Desai for 82. Vishal B Jayswal is the bowler who got the breakthrough for GUJ. However, SAUR are still going strong as Prerak Mankad (27*) - the new batter has complemented Vishvraj Jadeja (87*) well since he has come to the crease.

As Vishvaraj Singh Jadeja near his century, Saurashtra has gotten themselves in a really strong position against Gujarat. With Ravindra Jadeja still to come, SAUR will be eyeing a big score in their quota of 50 overs.

Saurashtra lost the wickets of centurion Vishvaraj Singh Jadeja (112) and Prerak Mankad (85) back-to-back. However, SAUR are still at a strong position against Gujarat with the veteran Ravindra Jadeja on crease.

Ravindra Jadeja and Chirag Jani are at the crease for Saurashtra in the death overs. Both the batters are well set and will look to make the most of the slog overs to get their team to 400.

Ravindra Jadeja blazed an unbeaten 39-ball 52, who was well complemented by Chirag Jani (43) to take Saurashtra to 383/4 in 50 overs. GUJ will have to chase down 384 in 50 overs to win the match.

Aarya Desai and Urvil Patel have started GUJ's chase of 384 runs in a cautious manner. GUJ will be relying heavily on both the openers to give them a solid start if they want to stay in the chase.

Gujarat off to a solid start against Saurashtra but also lost the wicket of Urvil Patel for 15. Aarya Desai (20*) and Ahaan Poddar (20*) are going strong for their team but still have an uphill task at their hands and will have to turn this start into a big partnership to keep GUJ in the chase.

Gujarat are three down against Saurashtra for just 93 in the chase of 384. Veteran all-rounder also chipped in with one wicket of Aarya Desai. Gujarat desperately need a big partnership at a brisk pace to stay in the match.

Kshitij Patel and Jaymeet Patel have stitched a 55-run partnership between them for the 5th wicket. However, GUJ still have an uphill task at their hands as they still need 237 more runs in 29 overs to win.

Ravindra Jadeja takes three key wickets to derail Gujarat's chase as they are now reduced to 195/7. Though they have maintained a healthy run-rate, yet they still need 189 more runs to win 20 overs with only 3 wickets in hand.

RM Bishnoi (30*) and CT Gaja (25*) have forged an unbeaten 56-run eighth-wicket partnership for GUJ. However, they still need 157 more runs to win in just 14 over with 3 wickets in hand.

Chetan Sakariya wraps up things for Saurashtra with two back-to-back wickets of JK Bhatt and A Nagwaswalla. SAUR win the match by a staggering margin of 145 runs after bowling out GUJ for just 238 runs in 40 overs.
