Opener Prashant Chopra smashed an unbeaten 89 to lead Himachal Pradesh to a comfortable five-wicket win over Gujarat in a Mushtaq Ali Trophy Group A match, here today.
Set a decent 152 to win, Himachal Pradesh overhauled the target with three balls to spare with five wickets in hands.
Chopra's 89 came off 62 balls with seven fours and two sixes after his side had lost other opener Ankush Bains in the very first ball of the chase.
With Paras Dogra (36), Chopra raised a 90-run stand for the third wicket and that proved crucial in the outcome of the match.
Gujarat owed their total of 151 for six to combined batting effort of Rujul Bhatt (40), skipper Parthiv Patel (35) and Priyank Panchal (32) after being asked to bat.
Brief Scores:
Gujarat: 151 for 6 in 20 overs.(R Bhatt 40, P Patel 35; A Chauhan 2/32).
Himachal Pradesh: 152 for 5 in 19.3 overs.(P Chopra 89 not out, P Dogra 36; R Kalaria 2/21).
