11 March 2014 6:16 AM IST
For Railways, who won the toss, Chanderpal Saini put up a fine show as the No 8 batsman’s unbeaten 45 from 60 balls, (4x4) in a 64-run partnership with Karn Sharma (41 from 36 balls; 2x4, 1x6), propelled his side to 230/9 after they were reduced to 126/6 in the 31st over.
Defending a modest total, Railways were given a fine start when pacer Anureet Singh’s wicket-maiden first over in which he dismissed Saurabh Wakaskar before Amit Mishra (3/22), Krishnakant Upadhyay (2/29) and Saini (2/13) bundled out Baroda for 137. The biggest disappointment, however, came from Yusuf Pathan, who had a 66 and 100 in previous two matches, was dismissed for 19 by leg-spinner Karn Sharma.

Railways 230/9; 50 overs (C Saini 45*, V Parmar 4/50, M Patel 2/27) beat Baroda: 137 (I Pathan 38, A Mishra 3/22).
