MUMBAI: Madhya Pradesh rode on senior batter Shubham Sharma's century and Kuldeep Sen's four-wicket haul to beat Uttarakhand by 10 runs in a Vijay Hazare Trophy Group D match on Thursday.
Batting first, MP scored 276/8 in 50 overs riding on Shubham Sharma's 100 off 110 balls with 10 fours and two sixes.
He added 138 runs for the second wicket with opener Yash Dubey (72 off 80 balls) and 59 with skipper Aditya Shrivastava (53 off 55 balls) for the fourth wicket.
For Uttarakhand, left-arm spinner Swapnil Singh picked up 4 for 60.
In reply, Uttarakhand were restricted to 266 for nine in 50 overs with former Mumbai keeper Aditya Tare scoring a half-century (52) and Swapnil contributing 82.
Swapnil and Dikshanshu Negi (34) added 81 runs for the fifth wicket in just 16.1 overs. In the 45th over, Uttarakhand were 232 for four, needing just 43 runs in 33 balls when Mumbai Indians spinner Kumar Kartikeya had Negi holed out.
The lower middle-order then found Sen's pace too hot to handle as they eventually fell short. Sen finished with figures of 4 for 51 in 10 overs.
