A half-fit Ravindra Jadeja proved his worth with a half-century and a brilliant run-out as Saurashtra comfortably beat Andhra by 59 runs on Sunday to enter the final of the Vijay Hazare Trophy. The Cheteshwar Pujara-led team will lock horns with Karnataka in the final on February 27 after a dominating show on a low and slow Kotla track. Jadeja came to the crease after Cheteshwar Pujara's painstaking (17 off 53 balls) innings ended in a mis-timed pull-shot leaving Saurashtra reeling at 69 for 4. Along with another young left-hander Arpit Vasavada (58 off 59 balls, 4x4, 2x6), Jadeja added 113 runs for the fifth wicket. Brief ScoresSaurashtra 255 in 49.1 overs (Ravindra Jadeja 56 off 51 balls, Arpit Vasavada 58 off 59 balls, Cheteshwar Pujara 17 off 53 balls).
