Parthiv Patel-led Gujarat won the Swarnim Gujarat G1 Reliance One-day tournament beating Saurashtra by 95 runs in the final.
Gujarat batting first after winning the toss, made a competitive 311 for nine wickets off 50 overs and then bundled out Saurashtra for 216 at Saurashtra Cricket Association (SCA) Stadium at Khandheri.
Himalaya Barad (74), Piyush Tanwar (65) and Manprit Juneja (60) were the notable contributors for Gujarat, while Saurashtra seamer Abhishek Bhatt took two wickets.
