Bengal, Gujarat victorious in Vinoo Mankad Trophy
Vishal Bhati, who secured his second consecutive player-of-the-match award, shone with both bat and ball as Bengal thrashed Chhattisgarh by 131 runs in the semifinals to book a spot in the final of the under-19 Vinoo Mankad Trophy at the Sanosara Cricket Ground ‘B,’ Rajkot, on Thursday.
Bengal scored 285 for eight and bundled out Chhattisgarh for 154 to set up a summit clash with Gujarat, which defeated Mumbai by seven wickets in the other semifinal, on Saturday. Bengal last played the final in 2013.
Bhati struck a magnificent 117-ball 111, containing eight fours and five sixes, to put up a massive 192-run partnership with fellow opener Ankit Chatterjee (92, 102b, 12x4, 1x6).
