Karnataka vs Baroda Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 Highlights: Four-time champions Karnataka held their nerves to edge out hosts Baroda by five runs.
Opener Devdutt Padikkal marked his return to domestic cricket with a scintillating century before Prasidh Krishna’s game-changing spell in the death overs propelled Karnataka to a thrilling win over Baroda.
Opting to bowl, Baroda, led by Krunal Pandya, faced an in-form Padikkal, who anchored the Karnataka innings with a superb 102 off 99 balls.
Supported by KV Aneesh’s solid 52 off 64 balls, Karnataka posted a challenging total of 281/8 in their 50 overs.
Baroda, in reply, seemed well on course to chase the target as opener Shashwat Rawat led the charge with a composed century.
Rawat’s 104 kept Baroda in the hunt, and they needed just 44 runs from the last five overs with the set batter still at the crease.
However, Prasidh Krishna (2/60) turned the match on its head in the 47th over.
He first dismissed the dangerous Rawat with a short ball that the batter gloved to the keeper. On the fifth ball of the same over, Krishna removed Mahesh Pithiya to dent Baroda’s hopes further.
Baroda entered the final over needing 12 runs with two wickets in hand.
But panic set in, and the duo of Raj Limbani and Bhargav Bhatt found themselves run out in four balls while attempting risky runs.
Left-arm pacer Abhilash Shetty (2/70 in 9.5 overs) held his nerves in a tense final over to seal a dramatic victory for Karnataka.
