In Group A, Suresh Raina continued his imperious form with a third successive half-century in Uttar Pradesh’s second win, as they will battle it out with Delhi for the other final spot. After Bist’s departure, Tajinder Singh hammered a quickfire 17-ball 43 (6x4, 2x6) in a 75-run partnership with Lomror to prop up the total. Uttar Pradesh thus returned to winning ways after their five-wicket reversal against Tamil Nadu at the Eden Gardens yesterday. At Eden Gardens:Rajasthan 175/6; 20 overs (Mahipal Lomror 74, Tajinder Singh 43, Chetan Bist 41; Dhawal Kulkarni 3/35) beat Mumbai 158/8; 20 overs (Akhil Herwadkar 68, Suryakumar Yadav 39; Deepak Chahar 3/27, Tajinder Singh 2/21, Khaleel Ahmed 2/41) by 17 runs. Karnataka 201/4; 20 overs (Karun Nair 100, Pawan Deshpande 56, Monu Kumar 2/31) beat Jharkhand 78; 14.2 overs (M Prasidh Krishna 2/8, Sreenath Aravind 2/6, J Suchith 2/13, Abhimanyu Mithun 2/23) by 123 runs.
