UP captain Sameer Rizvi led the charge with a power packed unbeaten 202 while Shoaib Siddiqui made an unbeaten 96. The duo added 296 runs for the third wicket in 173 balls to see their team home after UP openers Shaurya Singh (62) and Swastik (41) gave them a rollicking start with a 106-runs stand in only 10.4 overs.
