Uttar Pradesh’s innings was made up of two batting collapses sandwiched between a 59-run fifth wicket partnership between Sarfaraz Khan (31) and Rinku Singh (37) that took their team past the 100-run mark.
They lost their first four wickets for 66 runs while the last five fell for 34 as they were bowled out inside 36 overs. While M Mohammed (2-34) troubled UP’s top order, Aswin Crist (2-38) and Rahil Shah (2-25) chipped in with crucial lower-order wickets.
TN lost three early wickets in their chase, but an unbroken 101-run fourth-wicket partnership between Karthik and Shankar meant their team crossed the line with 22 overs to spare and complete their second win in as many days.
