SMAT 2024: Patidar's Heroics Guide Madhya Pradesh To Final After 13 Years
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy T20: In a dominant display of power-hitting, Madhya Pradesh, led by skipper Rajat Patidar, stormed into the final of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy T20 tournament after 13 years, defeating former champions Delhi by seven wickets in the semifinal at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Friday.
Patidar’s scintillating unbeaten 66 off just 29 balls, supported by a clinical bowling effort led by allrounder Venkatesh Iyer, secured Madhya Pradesh’s place in the title clash against Mumbai.
Opting to field first, Madhya Pradesh bowlers justified the decision with a disciplined performance that kept Delhi in check throughout their innings. Despite a steady start from Yash Dhull (11) and Priyansh Arya (29), who added 38 runs in 33 balls, the Delhi batting lineup faltered under pressure. Tripuresh Singh broke the opening stand by dismissing Dhull, while Kumar Kartikeya sent Arya back to the pavilion, leaving Delhi at 54/2 in the ninth over.
