Anmolpreet Singh chose the perfect day to score his maiden T20 century as his 113-run knock helped Punjab clinch its maiden Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy title defeating Baroda in the final by 20 runs at the I.S. Bindra stadium here on Monday.
Ninad Rathva (47, 22b, 5x4, 3x6) and Abhimanyusingh Rajput (61, 42b, 3x4, 4x6) kept Baroda in the hunt — helped by some sloppy fielding by Punjab which put down four catches.
However, the fate of the game was sealed in the penultimate over of a thrilling run chase when Arshdeep Singh brought his A-game and picked up three wickets including that of Krunal Pandya (45, 32b 3x4 1x6), Shivalik Sharma and Bhanu Pania.
