Most runs and most wickets in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021 (Updated till Jan 27)

The Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021 saw its remaining two quarter-final encounters played on January 27. Both the semi-final matches will be played on Friday, January 29.

Baroda pipped Haryana by eight wickets in the third quarter-final encounter of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021. They restricted the Mohit Sharma-led team to a score of 148/7 in their allotted 20 overs and achieved the target off the very last ball of their innings.

Kartik Kakade (2/7) was the most successful bowler for Baroda, with Atit Sheth and Babashafi Pathan chipping in with a wicket each. But they seemed to have made heavy weather of the run chase before Vishnu Solanki clubbed 16 runs off the last three deliveries, including a six in the last ball, to seal the deal.

Ashutosh Aman's two wickets in Wednesday's encounter against Rajasthan has helped him emerge as the sole highest wicket-taker of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021, with 16 scalps to his name.

The Bihar left-arm spinner, whose best effort is 4/9, had an exceptional economy rate of 5.08.

Avesh Khan, with 14 wickets, occupies the second spot in the wicket-taking charts. The Madhya Pradesh speedster returned with figures of 5/17 as his best performance but was slightly on the expensive, having conceded an average of 7.45 runs per over.

Siddharth Kaul is placed third in the highest wicket-takers list of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021. The Punjab seamer and Ishan Porel have accounted for 13 wickets apiece, but the former is placed higher due to a slightly better average.

With Rahul Chahar joining the Indian team camp for the series against England, Baroda's Lukman Meriwala (11), Rajasthan's Ravi Bishnoi (10) and Punjab's Arshdeep Singh (10) apart from Kaul are the likely contenders to overhaul Aman and emerge as the highest wicket-taker of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021.
