While Patil played an unbeaten knock of 108, Atharva Wanve missed the century by eight runs. Arshin Kulkarni was also unlucky as he was dismissed on 49. Captain A Pawar scored quickfire 53 in 61 balls hitting eight boundaries and two sixes. For fourth wicket partnership Patil and Atharva Wanve made 166 run partnership.
For Vidarbha left-arm spinner Ashit Singh claimed three wickets for 60 runs but he didn't get much support from the other end although Vidarbhh utilised eight bowlers.
