NAGPUR: Punjab had pushed Vidarbha to the wall after restricting them to 238. It was a gettable score looking at their batting prowess. They even got their mainstay Aryan Yadav (87; 137b, 9x4) going. But, when Vidarbha allrounder Ashit Singh caught Yadav's partner - Uday Saharan - plumb in the 25th over, Punjab lost the plot. Vidarbha kept making inroads and won the Vinoo Mankad Trophy final by 32 runs on Sunday.
Vidarbha bundled out Punjab for 206 in 47.4 overs to grab the trophy at Trivandrun. This was Vidarbha's second Vinoo Mankad Trophy title. They were champions in 2018-19. This is Vidarbha's tenth BCCI title including two Irani Trophy crowns from 2016-17.
