Record ton from Amit Pasi lifts Baroda

This score ties Pasi with Bilal Asif from Pakistan, who scored a record-breaking 114 runs off 48 balls for the Sialkot Stallions against the Abbottabad Falcons during the Super8 T20 Cup game in Faisalabad back in 2015.

Batting alongside Shashwat Rawat, Pasi reached his 50 runs within 24 balls and then made it to 100 within 44 balls. During his great performance, Pasi hit 9 sixes and 10 fours. Of these, only one four and one six were hit on the leg side; all the rest of his runs were scored from the offside boundary.

Amit Pasi During SMAT 2025

Baroda scored 220 runs off their 20 overs, with five wickets down, with Vishnu Solanki assisting with 75 runs towards his fourth wicket, pairing him with Vishnu Solanki.

During the Services’ innings, the opening duo of Kuwar Pathak and Ravi Chauhan put together 51 runs each, but fell short of a big innings to build on their solid beginnings from the initial part of the innings. Both were dismissed after the 13th over. After both fell, Service failed to get an explosive innings and therefore lost the match by 13 runs, led by Raj Limbani’s three for 37.

Brief scores: Baroda 220/5 in 20 overs (Pasi 114, Pania 28 not out; Abhishek 3/33) beat Services 207/8 in 20 overs (Pathak 51, Chauhan 51; Limbani 3/37).

MP Loses Yet Qualifies

Madhya Pradesh (MP) lost to Jammu & Kashmir by 13 runs. However, the MP team won because they had a better net run rate compared to Maharashtra, and therefore qualified for the Super League stage of the tournament.

Madhya Pradesh started their innings, chasing a target of 151 runs to win the match. At one stage, they were 86 runs for five wickets at the end of the 14 overs, and captain Rajat Patidar was out having scored just two runs off five balls. Venkatesh Iyer, an all-rounder who formerly played for Kolkata Knight Riders, was now expected to bat them to victory. Unfortunately, he was dismissed in the final over while the team still needed 19 runs for victory, ending their hopes of winning.

Brief Scores: J&K 150/9 in 20 overs (Nabi 32, Samad 27; Tripuresh 3/32) beat Madhya Pradesh 137 all out in 20 overs (Gawali 32, Iyer 23; Nabi 3/19).
