All-round show by Yuvi takes Punjab to 3-wkt win

Gurkeerat Singh Mann and Manpreet Gony complemented Yuvraj Singh's all-round show, adding 80 runs in 7.5 overs to guide Punjab to a three-wicket victory over Railways in a group A league game of the Vijay Hazare Trophy on Wednesday.

Batting first, Railways scored 246/9 in 50 overs while Punjab reached the target in 49.1 overs. Yuvraj was the star performer scoring 66 runs and taking 2/35 with the ball. Other veteran Harbhajan Singh had 1/50 in 10 overs.

Gurkeerat anchored the innings with an unbeaten 69 off 84 balls that included four boundaries while Gony clobbered the Railway bowlers hitting 46 off 24 balls with three sixes and two fours.

The duo came together at 167 for seven and ensured the second win for Punjab in their fourth game.

If they can win the last two matches, Punjab will still have a chance to qualify for the knock-out stages.

Veteran Yuvraj Singh, who captained the Baroda game smashed run-a-ball 66 including six fours and a six.
