10.22pm That is that. Baroda have trumped a star-studded Punjab line-up to set up a final clash with Dinesh Karthik's Tamil Nadu. After Devdhar and Kakade made fifties to push Baroda to 160 for 3, their bowlers, led by Meriwala, made that total look a whole lot bigger. The fielders backed up a collective effort from the bowlers as Baroda stifled Punjab and ended their unbeaten run in the tournament. Baroda bowling coach Munaf Patel will be proud of this bowling effort. Many thanks for your company. Be back for the final on January 31. Until then, take care and cheers.

Sheth to Markande, OUT, backs away and swings as hard as he can against a short ball that follows him down the leg side. It's a mis-hit. It's going to be a catch at long-on. And it's well held again.

Sheth to Mandeep Singh, 1 run, full toss again - only it's slower - and that lack of pace makes Mandeep hit it too hard and lose his shape. Single to long-on

Sheth to Mandeep Singh, FOUR, whips it to the right of long-on. Good bottom hand power on the shot, taking advantage of a low full toss by getting low himself

Meet N O Shah: "I live in Canada and during my last trip baroda in 2019 before pandemic, I went to a training camp of Baroda team as the keeper Smit Patel is my friend. The coach was stressing about importance of fielding and how it can win games. Here is the result in 2021, on the way to final mainly because of excellent fielding in QF and today.. Go Baroda"

1
Kakade to Mandeep Singh, 1 run, not enough power behind the pull shot. Mostly because he is too deep in his crease and the ball just doesn't come on. He loses his shape and the ball bounces before it reaches an on-rushing deep midwicket

1
Kakade to Markande, 1 run, drives to long-off

Rahul: "Vihari played a fantastic innings, but there's a difference between defending for hours while injured and smashing the ball around at 16 an over when injured" --- So you're saying if someone wins this game it'd be a bigger effort than a player who was fighting for his spot, rising above injury and defying the world's best bowling attack and eventually securing an incredible series win in Australia? (Also - Greenidge!)

Kakade to Mandeep Singh, 1 run, flicks a good length ball on middle through to midwicket
