Bhute to Mayank, out Caught by Yash Kadam!! Second wicket for Bhute and this is a big one. Karnataka's captain and their leading run-scorer is sent back. Very similar to the Aneesh dismissal. Bhute's medium pace is causing problems. He gets this ball to hold and Mayank checks his push, chips it tamely to cover and Kadam picks up his second catch. Karnataka in trouble now..

Yash Thakur to Mayank, FOUR, now Mayank gets into the act. Fullish delivery outside off, he gets a good stride in and caresses the drive through extra cover. No need to run for that..

Yash Thakur to Aneesh KV, FOUR, cracking shot! Much needed for Karnataka. The runs were not coming freely, the dots were building and the pressure was on. This is short and wide, Aneesh slashes the cut uppishly over the off-side ring and picks up his first boundary

Yash Thakur to Padikkal, out Caught by Shorey!! Shorey makes amends. Padikkal's struggles come to an end. Yash has his wicket. Full delivery angled in, Padikkal closes the bat face and attempts to flick it through the leg-side, gets an outside edge and the ball goes low to slip, Shorey bends to his right and takes a good catch. So the dropped chance has not cost them a lot. Padikkal c Shorey b Yash Thakur 8(19) [4s-1]

Darshan Nalkande to Padikkal, FOUR, that should calm the nerves. 126.5ks full pitcher around off, Padikkal leans forward and creams the drive through extra cover. The footwork was good, presented the full face of the bat and the placement was spot on

Yash Thakur to Mayank, FOUR, shot! Mayank decides to counter the movement by stepping out. He shuffles across, gets on top of the back of a length delivery and punches it elegantly through the off-side ring

Yash Thakur to Padikkal, 1 run, dropped! Yash finds the outside edge but Shorey does not hang on. Once more Padikkal is loose with his footwork. On a length and angled across, he has a waft and the outside edge flies to slip, goes at a nice height but Shorey does not hang on. How costly will that miss be for Vidarbha?

Darshan Nalkande to Mayank, FOUR, lovely shot! Fuller and outside off, Mayank had the width and he creams the drive in front of square. Not much of a followthrough with the bat but the ball raced away

Darshan Nalkande to Mayank, FOUR, Mayank and Karnataka are off the mark. He was dismissed for a duck in the semis and this should make him feel good. Fullish delivery on off and middle, Mayank leans forwad and clips it towards mid-wicket, there's a half stop but the ball has enough to race away to the rope
