Saurashtra vs Gujarat Live Score, Ranji Trophy 2024-25 quarterfinal Day 4 (Saurashtra Cricket Team vs Gujarat Cricket Team): Hello and welcome to the live blog of the fourth and final day’s play of the ongoing Ranji Trophy 2024-25 quarterfinal match between Saurashtra and Gujarat. The match is taking place at Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot and is streaming live on the Jio Cinema app and website.
Jaymeet Patel completed a well-deserved hundred in the morning but it was keeper-batter Urvil Patel, who knocked the stuffing out of hosts Saurashtra with a superb 140, as Gujarat inched closer to the last-four stage on third day of their Ranji Trophy quarter-final.
Having dismissed Saurashtra for 216, Gujarat finished their first essay on a mammoth 511, a lead of 295, which has almost sealed the deal for Chintan Gaja’s men.
While Manan Hingrajia’s stodgy 83 off 219 balls laid the foundation, left-handed Jaymeet (103 off 171 balls) completed his ton and then Urvil (140 off 197 balls) took a seasoned seamer like Jaydev Unadkat (1/107 in 31 overs) to the task.
At stumps, Saurashtra reached 33 for no loss, bringing the deficit down to 262, but setting a fourth-innings target worth defending would be an incredibly difficult job for them.
Unless Saurashtra score at least 450 runs on the fourth day and set a target in range of 220 for the visitors, there is no chance of a fightback for them.
Saurashtra: Harvik Desai (WK), Chirag Jani, Cheteshwar Pujara, Sheldon Jackson, Arpit Vasavada, Prerak Mankad, Sammar Gajjar, Dharmendrasinh Dodiya, Yuvrajsin Dodiya, Jaydev Unadkat (c)
