How did the match pan out?
Dinesh Karthik-led Tamil Nadu managed 252/9 in 49.5 overs. Abhinav Mukund slammed a 110-ball 85. Baba Aparajith 66. Abhimanyu Mithun (5/35) claimed a stunning hat-trick. Karnataka needed to be positive in the chase given the conditions. They lost Devdutt Padikkal (11) early on. However, an unbeaten 114-run stand between Rahul and Mayank helped a solid Karnataka outfit.
