In a breathtaking display of resilience and talent, Andhra's young batter Hemanth Reddy smashed an unbeaten 109 to guide his team to a stunning five-wicket win against Punjab in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Super League A match on Sunday.

Faced with a precarious position at 56 for 5, Reddy, playing just his second SMAT game, partnered with SD Prasad to put on an unbeaten 155-run stand. His explosive innings, which included 11 boundaries and seven sixes, propelled Andhra past the 206-run target on the final ball of the match.

Despite early setbacks, including the loss of key wickets to Punjab's pacers like Gurnoor Brar, Reddy's knock was pivotal in revitalizing Andhra's campaign, while Punjab's hopes were dashed following their previous defeat against Jharkhand.
