Ahmedabad, Nov 6 (PTI) Mehul Patel rocked the Orissa top order and then leg-spinner and fellow debutant Salil Yadav polished off the tail to fashion Gujarat's comprehensive 159-run win in the Ranji Trophy Super League Group A match here today.

For Orissa, who needed 380 runs to win the tie, Rakesh Mohanty (71 not out) waged a grim battle but was stranded without partners as the visitors folded for 220 in 84.3 overs.

Patel (3/21) and Yadav (3/52) shared six wickets between themselves while Rujul Bhat claimed two for 44 to help Gujarat win five points from the tie.

Resuming on 10 for one, Orissa was gasping for breath at 88 for six after Pravajan Mullick (40) returned.

Mohanty and Subhrajit Sahoo (39) then offered a glimpse of hope, raising 84 runs for the seventh wicket that rekindled Orissa's hopes.
