  • Jadeja built crucial partnerships, including a 172-run opening stand with Harvik Desai (64) and an unbroken 121-run stand with Prerak Mankad (52 not out).
  • Punjab, despite a strong start with Prabhsimran Singh and Anmolpreet Singh's century, collapsed towards the end, losing five wickets for 16 runs.
  • Chetan Sakariya's excellent death bowling for Saurashtra triggered Punjab's collapse, making the chase easier for Saurashtra under lights.
