Baroda lock horns with Punjab in the final of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) 2023 on Monday, November 6 at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali. The match commences at 11:00 AM IST.
Punjab’s journey in the tournament has been nothing short of remarkable. Their victory over a spirited Delhi side in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2023 semifinal was largely attributed to the impressive batting display by Abhishek Sharma and Mandeep Singh. This six-wicket win was secured at the PCA IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali on Saturday, propelling Punjab into the final.
Abhishek’s 77-run knock and Mandeep’s unbeaten 63 from 36 balls got the limited crowd on its feet when Punjab chased down an 184-run target with more than an over to spare.
Baroda got the better of Assam in the semi-final 2 of SMAT 2023. When Abhimanyusingh Rajput got Assam’s Riyan Parag caught at the deep midwicket, a loud scream roared around here at the PCA IS Bindra Stadium and the whole Baroda team jumped in joy on Saturday.
The pacer had got Parag, the highest run scorer of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2023, cheaply and Krunal Pandya’s side assumed complete control over the semifinal post that dismissal.
Consequently, Baroda and Punjab will fight for the 2023 Syed Mushtaq Trophy.
