    "editor1": "<p><strong>New Delhi, Feb 25 (Cricketnmore)<\/strong> Saurashtra produced an all-round performance to defeat Andhra Pradesh by 59 runs and enter the Vijay Hazare final at the Feroz Shah Kotla here on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Asked to bat, Saurashtra batsmen Ravindra Jadeja (56) and Aarpit Vasavada (58) starred to post 255 runs on the board. Later, Dharmendrasinh Jadeja (4\/40) produced a disciplined bowling effort to dismiss Andhra for 196 runs in the semi-final.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Saurashtra will clash with Karnataka in the final on Tuesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the chase, Andhra lost their top order batsmen Srikar Bharat (29), Ashwin Hebbar (12), G H Vihari (25) and Ricky Bhui (13) inside the hundred run mark.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Following the dismissals, batsmen Bodapati Sumanth and Dwaraka Ravi Teja scored identical 42 runs to put Andhra back in the hunt. The two were involved in a 59-run stand before the former was dismissed by Jadeja.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Later, the bottom order failed to do much with the bat as Jadeja kept picking up wickets at regular intervals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier, asked to bat, Saurashtra opener Samarth Vyas (46) played an important knock at the top of the order.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Later, Jadeja and Vasavada scored vital half-centuries to put their side in a strong position. The former hit four boundaries and one six in his innings while the latter had identical four and two hits over the fence.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the process, the pair forged a 112-run fifth wicket stand before Vasavada was cleaned up by Karthik Raman (4\/69).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Incoming batsman Prerak Mankad (40) also played an important hand before Raman dismissed him.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, the lower order batsmen could not do much with the bat and were sent back to the pavilion in quick succession.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Brief Scores: Saurashtra 255 in 49.1 overs (Samarth Vyas 46, Ravindra Jadeja 56, Aarpit Vasavada 58, Prerak Mankad 40; Karthik Raman 4\/69) against Andhra 196 in 45.3 overs (Karthik Raman 42, Dwaraka Ravi Teja 42; Dharmendrasinh Jadeja 4\/40).<\/strong><\/p>\r\n",
