Drinks! Smaran Ravichandran and Krishnan Shrijith have done a stellar job of steadying the ship for Karnataka, counterattacking brilliantly to put the pressure back on Vidarbha. Their 123-run partnership has not only stabilized the innings but also set the perfect platform for a late-innings charge, with Karnataka well-positioned to capitalize in the final phase. Vidarbha, however, have let the game slip during this period, failing to sustain pressure as the batters rotated the strike effortlessly while milking singles. They’ll need to regroup quickly, tighten their lines, and find that all-important breakthrough to stem the flow of runs and regain control. Crucial overs ahead!

Drinks! What began as a promising start for Karnataka has now taken a sharp turn, leaving them struggling at 67/3. The loss of Mayank Agarwal, who was looking fluent at the crease, will sting the most. Karnataka will now need to regroup and rebuild from the ground up, focusing on taking the game deeper and accumulating runs cautiously in this crucial middle phase. Vidarbha, on the other hand, have been spot-on with their bowling, reaping the rewards of their discipline. They’ll look to capitalize on this momentum by targeting Karnataka’s middle order and aiming for a couple more quick breakthroughs to tighten their grip on the game. Krishnan Shrijith walks in to bat next!

Harsh Dubey To Mayank Agarwal
A loud shout for LBW but turned down! Speared in from around the wicket, on a length, on middle and leg, Mayank reaches out in front and looks to clip it away on the leg side with a closed bat face. Fails to get any bat on it as the ball sneaks past the inside edge to hit him on the front pad. The batters cross as the ball rolls away. Jitesh Sharma looks confident as does the bowler. Karun Nair takes the review. No bat involved but the Ball Tracking shows that the ball would have gone past the leg stump. Vidarbha lose a review.
Is that out? A huge appeal for LBW but is turned down by the onfield umpire. After a long chat with the bowler and the keeper, Karun Nair sends it upstairs. Nothing on UltraEdge and the Ball Tracking shows the ball to be missing leg. Onfield call of NOT OUT stays and Vidarbha lose a review.
