Batting by choice, Karnataka lost openers Bharath Chipli and KB Pawan quite early in their innings.
Pacer Y Sunny Kumar Singh (4/29) and left-arm spinner Rahil Shah (3/54) chipped in with regular strikes to reduce Karnataka to 80 for seven, and their eventual total of 221 in 65.4 overs appeared a distant possibility then.
Brief scores (both semifinals):
At Gymkhana grounds: Karnataka: 221 all out in 65.4 overs (Ganesh Satish 109, K Goutam 30; Y Sunny Kumar Singh 4-29, Rahil S Shah 3-54) vs TamilNadu: 59/1 in 14 overs (Vijay Shanker 31 n.o.).
At RGICS: HCA Colts: 217 all out in 82.4 overs (K Sumanth 62, Sandeep Rajan 41; Paramveer Singh 5-36) vs HCA XI: 31/2 in 6 overs.
