Saurashtra produced an all-round performance to defeat Andhra Pradesh by 59 runs and enter the Vijay Hazare final at the Feroz Shah Kotla on Sunday. Asked to bat, Saurashtra batsmen Ravindra Jadeja (56) and Aarpit Vasavada (58) starred to post 255 runs on the board. Earlier, asked to bat, Saurashtra opener Samarth Vyas (46) played an important knock at the top of the order. In the process, the pair forged a 112-run fifth wicket stand before Vasavada was cleaned up by Karthik Raman (4/69). However, the lower order batsmen could not do much with the bat and were sent back to the pavilion in quick succession.
