mighty full and outside off, dragged through square leg off an inside edge
Baroda vs Punjab, 2nd semi final at Ahmedabad, SMA TROPHY, Jan 29 2021 - Match Result
10.22pm That is that. Baroda have trumped a star-studded Punjab line-up to set up a final clash with Dinesh Karthik's Tamil Nadu. After Devdhar and Kakade made fifties to push Baroda to 160 for 3, their bowlers, led by Meriwala, made that total look a whole lot bigger. The fielders backed up a collective effort from the bowlers as Baroda stifled Punjab and ended their unbeaten run in the tournament. Baroda bowling coach Munaf Patel will be proud of this bowling effort. Many thanks for your company. Be back for the final on January 31. Until then, take care and cheers.
Sheth shifts his line wide of off, Mandeep shimmies out, reaches out, and creams it over extra-cover. Hit flat and hard for four
lifter on middle, Mandeep is late onto the hook as the resultant top-edge sails over the keeper's head for six
slower short ball outside off, guided to short third man
Mandeep dashes down the track, meets this full delivery early and belts it over the bowler's head even as he yanks his bottom hand off the bat
full and homing away outside off, Mandeep slogs across the line and connects only with thin air
slower ball from Meriwala, it's the offcutter, Sandeep swings for the hills and drags it back onto his own stumps. The leg stump is knocked out. He ends with 3 for 28
slower ball on off stump, hauled to long-on, and this time he takes the single on offer
too full on off, in the swinging arc once again, but this dragged only as far as wide log-on. Mandeep keeps the strike
Liyakat Patel : "Lukman Meriwala has best tournament so far.Like Munaf he is unsung hero."
slower short ball on off stump, stabbed back to Meriwala. Good comeback from the left-arm seamer
pitched up on off stump, right in the slot for Mandeep to swipe it away powerfully over midwicket. Pinged off the middle of the bat
full-toss outside off, Sandeep steps away outside leg and scythes it away past the right of sweeper cover
Sandeep at No.9
backs away and swings as hard as he can against a short ball that follows him down the leg side. It's a mis-hit. It's going to be a catch at long-on. And it's well held again.
full toss again - only it's slower - and that lack of pace makes Mandeep hit it too hard and lose his shape. Single to long-on
whips it to the right of long-on. Good bottom hand power on the shot, taking advantage of a low full toss by getting low himself
Meet N O Shah: "I live in Canada and during my last trip baroda in 2019 before pandemic, I went to a training camp of Baroda team as the keeper Smit Patel is my friend. The coach was stressing about importance of fielding and how it can win games. Here is the result in 2021, on the way to final mainly because of excellent fielding in QF and today.. Go Baroda"
thumps a length ball down the ground to long-on
slower ball on middle, he makes room and dabs it towards point
inside edge onto pad as he's unable to find the room to free the arms
Punjab need 58 runs off 18 balls
Tarun: "Agh man! This hurts. Punjab has been so dominant throughout only to fail so badly today. I guess be it IPL or SMAT, Punjab knows how to choke at the end :("
not enough power behind the pull shot. Mostly because he is too deep in his crease and the ball just doesn't come on. He loses his shape and the ball bounces before it reaches an on-rushing deep midwicket
drives to long-off
