- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.5 Good comeback from Siddharth. He has pulled his length back, finds turn again. On a length and outside off, Devdhar aims to punch it but ends up splicing it to Jagadeesan at cover point 22/21.1 sliced in the air, and into the hands of one of TN's best fielders Arun Karthik. Shorter and spin immediately for Aparajith, some bounce to boot, Rathva chops in the air. Karthik lunges forward and snaffles it at backward point even as the ball dips on him 6/119.5 he's run out but he might have got his fifty. Oh no, he hasn't, that's leg byes. Short of a length outside off, a slower ball that he looks to pull. Hits the side of his body and trickles fine of short third man. He comes back for the second but there's no chance. Not even the chance to ground his bat. But it has been another heroic innings from Solanki. Baroda can afford half a fight because of his innings 120/85.5 that's the big arm ball from Siddharth, keeps snaking back in, Patel is late onto it. By the time he brings his bat down, Siddharth has pinged the pad in line with middle and umpire Barde raises his finger. The bowler lets out a big roar. He is pumped 28/36.2 Time for KB's fast hands again. He swoops down on the ball at backward point, throws it to the other Karthik who takes the ball and deflects it onto the stumps. Baroda four down and sinking. Guided to backward point, Pania takes on KB's arm and falls 28/48.1 chipped back to the bowler. Soft as wax. Siddharth is called 'Saidu' in the TN camp because he bowls from the side. He delivers from wide of the crease again, stops on the batsman, he can't adjust and simply scoops it back to Siddharth 32/58.5 Siddharth slows it up outside off, hint of turn, Kakade throws his bat at ball and is too early into it. He drags it back onto the stumps. Fourth wicket for him on his return in the final 36/618.2 taken at long-off. Sheth's spark goes out at the end of a good innings. This was a full slower ball, he shuffled into its line and looked to thump that straight over the bowler but was outfoxed. Ended up skying it a long way up and the fielder did well to complete the catch after staying under it 94/720 DK slides on the turf after taking this. Short ball outside off, walks into the line of this and looks for the aerial pull. Ends up slicing it into the off side, where a short point fielder might be. Backward point and extra cover converge, but DK runs, lunges, and draws a line between them with a full body slide forward 120/9Extras6 (lb 1, nb 2, w 3)TOTAL120/9 (20 Overs, RR: 6)Did not bat: LI MeriwalaFall of wickets: 1-6 (Ninad Rathva, 1.1 ov), 2-22 (Kedar Devdhar, 3.5 ov), 3-28 (Smit Patel, 5.5 ov), 4-28 (Bhanu Pania, 6.2 ov), 5-32 (Abhimanyusingh Rajput, 8.1 ov), 6-36 (Kartik Kakade, 8.5 ov), 7-94 (Atit Sheth, 18.2 ov), 8-120 (Vishnu Solanki, 19.5 ov), 9-120 (Babashafi Pathan, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR11.2 taken at fine leg! Bhatt loses balance at the last moment but holds on. Length ball down leg side, chases it and flicks uppishly to fine leg's right. Bhatt runs in, catches it in front of his chest and then goes to ground. It pops out of his hands as he does this, but he juggles once to hold on as he slides on the wet outfield 67/23.5 Meriwala bounces out Jagadeesan. He'd dismissed Punjab's Prabhsimran in similar fashion in the semi-final. Dug in short, but the ball gets big on the batsman as he aims a pull. He can only splice a catch to midwicket 26/116.1 taken at midwicket. Short ball rising in the corridor, shuffles for the pull but that gets big on him and he slices it weakly to midwicket's right. Held easily by the fielder 101/3Extras5 (lb 1, w 4)TOTAL123/3 (18 Overs, RR: 6.83)Fall of wickets: 1-26 (Narayan Jagadeesan, 3.5 ov), 2-67 (Hari Nishaanth, 11.2 ov), 3-101 (Dinesh Karthik, 16.1 ov)
