The final for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy was held between Haryana and Jharkhand at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium. Both teams deserve to play the finals. Haryana won the toss and opted to bowl first.

Anshul Kamboj gave a good start to Haryana, getting an early wicket of Virat Singh. But Ishan Kishan and Kumar Kushagra stood like a pole on the pitch. Ishan Kishan scored a magnificent century. Kushagra scored 81 on 38 balls. 

Anukul Roy and Robin Minz ultimately worked at the end of the innings. Anukul scored 40 runs in 20 balls, and Robin scored 31 runs in 14 balls. Haryana’s bowling looks totally off-colour. Jharkhand scored 262 runs.

Haryana, while chasing this big total, lost its captain on its first ball. Ashish Siwach also got out on a duck. Arsh Ranga struggled a lot, whereas Yashvardhan Dalal showed some big sixes. Yashvardhan scored 53 runs in 22 balls, Nishant Sindhu scored 31 runs in 15 balls, and Samant Jakhar scored 38 runs in 17 balls. 

Haryana fell short; the target was too big, and losing early wickets cost them the match. Jharkhand won by 69 runs.
