cricket punjab defeats baroda to win syed mushtaq ali trophy 2023

Sports

Anmolpreet Singh picked the perfect day to score his maiden T20 century as his 113-run knock helped Punjab lift their first Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy title by defeating Baroda by 20 runs in the final at the IS Bindra Stadium. Asked to bat and the pressure was on at 80/3. This left star-performer Abhishek Sharma on a golden duck, Prabhsimran Singh on nine and Krunal Pandya dismissing reverse-sweeping Mandeep Singh on 32. But Anmolpreet-Nehal took over from there and entertained the spectators who were watching each match on the scoreboard. The runs were accompanied by chants and applause as the Baroda bowlers kept missing their lines and lengths and the Punjab pair maintained their composure to send each full toss towards the fence. The batsmen hit nine sixes and three fours in the last 21 balls to take the team to 223/4. The winning Punjab team will get Rs 80 lakh each from BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) and PCA (Punjab Cricket Association).
