Surat: Paceman R P Singh's five-wicket haul on the final day helped Gujarat secure a 153-run victory over Madhya Pradesh in their Group B Ranji Trophy cricket match here today.
R P Singh ran through Madhya Pradesh's batting line-up in their chase of 314 as the visiting side were shot out for 160&nbsp;in just 49.5 overs.
Resuming the day at four for no loss, MP needed another 310 runs on the final day but that proved to be a tall task in&nbsp;the face of a brilliant bowling show by Gujarat led by R P Singh at the Lalabhai Contractor Stadium.
M P lost half of their batsmen at 32 runs and they never recovered from there. Only Ankit Sharma provided Gujarat with some lower-order resistance by scoring 55. The next highest contributor was number 10 batsman Ankit Khuswah who made 29.
R P Singh's 5 for 33 in the second innings -- and match figures of 7 for 74 -- earned him the Man-of-the-Match award. Gujarat collected six points from the win while MP got none.
Brief Scores: Gujarat: 311 &amp; 202 for 9 declared Madhya Pradesh: 200 &amp; 160 all out in 49.5 overs (Ankit Sharma 55; R P Singh 5/33).
