Amit Pasi’s brilliant knock helps Baroda register 4th win of the season
As far as the match is concerned, Baroda rode on the superb ton from Amit Pasi to post a mammoth total of 220 runs at the Gymkhana Ground in Hyderabad. In response, Services began well with their openers – Kunwar Pathak and Ravi Chauhan – smashing 51 runs each as they added 84 runs for the opening stand in just 8.2 overs.
Mohit Ahlawat, the skipper, also led from the front for the team, scoring 41 runs off 22 deliveries, but the pressure of the required run-rate led to Services collapsing from 156/2 to 187/8 in the run-chase. Eventually, they could only reach 207 runs in their 20 overs as Baroda won their fourth game of the season in seven outings.
