NAGPUR: Vidarbha were inching towards their most embarrassing defeat in List-A cricket on Sunday. Pursuing a 315-run target, all their 7 main batters were back in the hut with just 51 on the board within 15 overs. It looked like Karnataka would register a shocking result against the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy semifinalist team.
However, Akshay Karnewar stood between Vidarbha and a rout. He saved the sinking ship by slamming his maiden century in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. The southpaw not only carried his bat with 104 but also ensured Vidarbha travelled far away from embarrassment.
