Ahmedabad, Dec 21:  KL Shrijith's whirlwind unbeaten 150 trumped Shreyas Iyer's fiery 114 as Karnataka etched a memorable seven-wicket win over Mumbai in a Group C match of the Vijay Hazare Trophy here on Saturday.

Shreyas' unbeaten 55-ball knock (5x4, 10x6) combined with fifties from Ayush Mhatre (78, 82b), Hardik Tamore (84, 94b) and Shivam Dube (63 not out, 36b) guided Mumbai to an imposing 382 for four in 50 overs. Anmolpreet Singh Smashes Fastest List A Hundred by an Indian As Punjab Beat Arunachal Pradesh in Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024–25 (Watch Video).

But Shrijith, who was sold to Mumbai Indians for Rs 30 lakh in the recent IPL auction, hammered 150 off 101 balls with 20 fours and four sixes to help Karnataka scale down 383 with 3.4 overs to spare. He was ably supported by KV Aneesh (82, 66b), Praveen Dubey (65 not out, 50b) and captain Mayank Agarwal (47, 48b).

Virat Singh, Utkarsh Singh Power Jharkhand

Explosive left-hander Utkarsh Singh (82, 99b, 7x4) and centurion Virat Singh (109 not out) helped Jharkhand to successfully chase Assam's challenging 257 for 9 in their seven-wicket canter. The 26-year-old Utkarsh and Virat, both mentored by former India skipper MS Dhoni, raised 141 runs for the third wicket in just 25 overs as Jharkhand made a strong start to their campaign.

Hardik Pandya-less Baroda win

India all-rounder Hardik Pandya will not be available for the league stage matches of the Vijay Hazare Trophy because of personal reasons, but he will join Baroda if they progress to the knockouts. However, his absence was hardly felt as Baroda pummelled Tripura by 92 runs, riding on fifties by Shivalik Sharma (86) and Vishnu Solanki (54) and an excellent spell by Mahesh Pithiya (4/44). Hardik Pandya To Be Available for Baroda in Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024–25 Knockout Matches.

Rajat Patidar, Avesh Khan Shine for MP

Madhya Pradesh pacer Avesh Khan took three wickets to restrict Bihar to 196 all out, as young batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi was dismissed for four. MP then rode on an unbeaten 55 by skipper Rajat Patidar and an 83 by opener Harsh Gawali to go past the target in just 25.1 overs for a six-wicket win. On Which Channel Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024–25 Live Telecast in India Will Be Available?
