19-Feb-2000
Saurashtra ended Haryana's challenge shortly after lunch on the final day of their Super League tie at Rohtak today. But not before Rajesh Puri had crafted a well deserved century. He remained unconquered on 114 (199 balls, 15 fours, 3 sixes). Puri, along with last man M Sakhalkar, held up Saurashtra's victory charge with a stand of 68 in a little over 18 overs that beefed up the total to 274. Firoz Bambhaniya finally sent back Sakhalkar to produce figures of 5/54.
The target for Saurashtra was 94 and openers AA Merchant (41 not out) and RC Vasanth Kumar (38) almost did it on their own with an 83 run stand. The visitors reached 97/1 in the 18th over to post a nine wicket victory and take home 8 points. Their next match is against Orissa at Rajkot from Feb 24-27 while Haryana face off with Tamil Nadu at Rohtak on the same dates.
