Anvay and Dhruv shared a massive alliance of 203 runs for the third wicket in just over 26 overs.

Earlier, Gujarat cantered to a mammoth 357 for four in 50 overs, courtesy hundreds by Sameer Bhandari (119 not out, 88 balls) and Yash Panjwani (106, not out 57b).

Bhandari and Panjwani lifted Gujarat from a precarious 140 for four in 30.3 overs with a stand of 217 for the fifth wicket in just 19 overs.
