Gujarat vs Uttarakhand
Gujarat's Urvil Patel followed up his record-shattering hundred last month with another century - a 41-ball unbeaten 115 against Uttarakhand to help Gujarat make it five wins in a row. The northern team posted a competitive total of 182/7 courtesy of contrasting-yet-brisk 54 each from Aditya Tare and Samarth R, and a 43 off 27 balls from Kunal Chandela, amidst a collapse on either side of this middle-order show. However, Urvil smacked 11 sixes and eight boundaries in yet another one-man show to take Gujarat over the line in just 13.1 overs for a rather comfortable 8-wicket win.
Bengal vs Bihar
Bihar skipper Sakibul Gani's 56-ball 79 was overshadowed by Karan Lal's unbeaten 94 off 47 as Bengal overhauled the opponent's 147/6 in just 14 overs. Gani's was a one-man show until his dismissal in the 18th over, the captain finding the fence a dozen times during his stay but without a steady support at the other end. Abhisehk Porel gave Bengal a flying start with his 10-ball 19 before Lal took over. In the 122-run partnership for the second wicket, skipper Sudip Kumar Gharami contributed only 32* off 27 as Lal hit six sixes and nine more boundaries to keep Bengal ahead of the asking rate.
Jammu and Kashmir vs Uttar Pradesh
An unbeaten 85 from Shubham Khajuria helped J&K to their fourth win of the season as they beat Uttar Pradesh by 6 wickets in a tense Group C encounter. Chasing 148 for victory, J&K were helped by a 60-run opening partnership to lay the platform, and Khajuria kept at it even as the team momentarily lost track by slipping to 86/3. He found an ally in Abdul Samad, who chipped in a run-a-ball 22. Earlier, UP never really found any momentum as the batters kept throwing away their starts before a Shivam Mavi cameo - 45* off just 15 - rescued them to a respectable 157/6 from their 20 overs.
