After a lean season where he hadn't cracked a 50 in the competition, Sangha (103) stood up when it counted to help his side to 381 at lunch on day two at North Dalton Park.
Resuming at 4-299 on Sunday, the wickets came steadily for the Bulls as the Blues chased some quick runs to polish off the innings.
But it didn't stop Sangha from reaching his milestone, the 21-year-old moving from 81 overnight before eventually mis-timing a drive to Matt Renshaw off the bowling of Brendan Doggett.
Sangha clubbed 15 fours in his 202-ball stay.
Doggett was the outstanding bowler with 4-79, Xavier Bartlett and the returning Mitch Swepson each picking up two wickets.
Both teams are expected to push hard for a result, an outright win for either handing them a place in the Shield final as well as hosting rights.
A draw would be least beneficial to the Blues who could then miss out completely should WA beat Tasmania in their match.
