In a thrilling encounter affected by rain, Saurashtra emerged victorious over Uttar Pradesh by 17 runs using the VJD Method. Harvik Desai's unbeaten century and Chetan Sakariya's crucial bowling performance were pivotal in securing the win.
The match began with Saurashtra winning the toss and opting to bowl first. Uttar Pradesh set a formidable target, scoring 310 for 8 in their allotted 50 overs. The innings was anchored by Abhishek Goswami and Sameer Rizvi, both contributing significant half-centuries.

Sameer Rizvi remained not out on 88 from 77 deliveries, including 10 fours and two sixes.
Uttar Pradesh's innings saw notable contributions from Priyam Garg (35 off 39) and Prashant Veer (30 off 31), but it was their partnerships that helped build the total. Chetan Sakariya was the standout bowler for Saurashtra, claiming three wickets for 54 runs in his full quota of 10 overs. His wickets included Aryan Juyal for a duck and Rituraj Sharma for a modest score of 12.
Chasing a revised target due to rain interruptions, Saurashtra relied heavily on opener Harvik Desai who played a match-winning innings of an unbeaten century (100* off 116 balls). His composed knock included eight fours and two sixes. Desai was well-supported by Prerak Mankad who scored a brisk 67 off 66 balls before being stumped by Aryan Juyal off Prashant Veer's delivery.
Despite losing wickets at regular intervals, Saurashtra maintained their momentum with Chirag Jani contributing an unbeaten quick-fire 40 off just 31 balls. The Uttar Pradesh bowlers struggled to contain the run flow under pressure with only Karan Chaudhary and Vipraj Nigam managing to take a wicket each.
The match ended with Saurashtra reaching 238 for 3 in 40.1 overs when rain intervened again, leading to their victory by the VJD Method. Harvik Desai's exceptional all-round performance with both bat and gloves earned him the Player of the Match award.
