Well, that's all we have from this coverage for now. It's a break day tomorrow, so the players (and us) will have a little bit of rest and recovery time. This is the duo of Pradeep and Pratyush taking your leave for now. Buh-bye!
And breathe. Cricket was the real winner in this contest as the momentum swung one way and then the other. Despite the loss, Baroda can be pleased with how they fought throughout that game and responded after multiple setbacks. As for Gujarat, it got a little to close for their liking in the end but the win is all that matters at this stage of the tournament as they look to build from stride to stride. Both sides produced a fascinating game of cricket, which was thoroughly enjoyable as a neutral. That's the magic of the SMAT, no?
What drama. What tension. What a game! Ambati Rayudu and some of the Baroda players are on their haunches. They were so close to pulling off something spectacular but it's been taken away from them, right at the death. Relief in the Gujarat dressing room. They were made to work hard for that win with Baroda not giving in right till the very end.
Chasing what looked like an underpar total, the Gujarat side got off to a flying start in the first 8 overs with Priyank Panchal leading the way from the front alongside Urvil Patel. The Baroda side did manage to pull things back in the middle overs but the crucial moment in the game was the dismissal of Panchal. Varun Aaron delivered the double whammy to allow his side back into the game.
What seemed like a straightforward chase at that point quickly turned into a dogfight between the two sides with neither giving much away. A lot of credit goes to Baroda for taking this game as deep as they did, almost defending 2 runs off the final over. Ninad almost pulled a rabbit out of the hat to give his side a memorable win but Roosh Kalaria emerged as the hero for Gujarat, striking a boundary off the final ball to give them the four points.

19.6 Ninad Rathva to Roosh Kalaria, ROOSH KALARIA, YOU ARE A HERO! FOUR! What a stupendous hit to seal the game from the clutches of defeat. Ambati Rayudu is on his haunches but what a game of cricket we've just witnessed, simply outstanding stuff from both the teams. Slides the short delivery on the outside off, Kalaria absolutely smashes it wide of long-off, fielder with a despairing dive can't get to it, races past the fence to give Gujarat a thrilling win!
Ninad is on a hat-trick! 2 needed in 1. Are we in for a super over?
Roosh Kalaria, RHB, comes to the crease
Would you believe it? Gujarat's innings is falling apart like a castle of glass! Baroda are on the verge of snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. The Gujarat dressing room is shell shocked!
19.5 Ninad Rathva to Vishal Jayswal, OUT! UP IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Gujarat are committing a suicide here, Jayswal sweeps but he's top edged it straight up and the deep backward square-leg fielder takes a sitter. Ninad Rathva, you beauty! WHAT A FINAL OVER THIS IS TURNING OUT TO BE! Vishal Jayswal c Vishnu Solanki b Ninad Rathva 0 (1b 0x4 0x6)
