The pair were joined at 31 for 4 and essayed a counterattack that fetched 209 runs in 214 balls. Akshar Patel (93) was the life of the chase, but the captain Vinay Kumar picked up a five-for to ensure Gujarat fell short. After Karnataka were put in, Jasprit Bumrah and Kamlesh Thakor handed out ducks to three of the top five. Uthappa and Nair culled the rot, while keeping the score moving briskly. Karnataka were ushered past 50, then 100 and soon into a position of strength. Nair struck 14 fours and a six in his 121-ball 120 and when he was dismissed in the 44th over, Karnataka were a healthy 240. Uthappa carried his bat through the innings, collecting 132 off 135 balls, with 10 fours and three sixes. Gujarats reply revolved around their fifth wicket stand, which amounted to 139 runs. Akshar was the aggressor, his 93 coming off 78 balls while Rujul Bhatt held one end up. But with the required rate mounting - Gujarat needed 87 off 69 - both batsmen fell in successive overs and Karnataka regained control. Vinay accounted for the tail which wagged a bit, thanks to a 23-ball 30 from Rohit Dahiya. Bengal 167 (Lahiri 32, Mahesh 4-23) beat Tamil Nadu 90 (Shami 4-25, Dinda 3-13) by 77 runs Scorecard and ball-by-ball details Mohammed Shami and Ashok Dinda exploited the substantial bounce and swing on offer at Eden Gardens to help Bengal move into the semi-finals with a 77-run win against Tami Nadu in Kolkata. Shami (4-25) and Dinda (3-13) picked up seven wickets between them to run through Tamil Nadu in 33.5 overs, as the visitors folded for 90 during their chase of 168. Dinda, opening the bowling, attacked the batsmen right from the off and Srikkanth Anirudhas dismissal off the third ball of the innings - caught off a thick edge to second slip - sparked off a Tamil Nadu collapse that they ultimately never recovered from. Such was the incisive bowling of Bengals pace duo that Tamil Nadus batsmen spent the majority of their innings swatting aimlessly as the ball just whisked past their outside edge. Murali Vijay was the only batsman who put up some fight, eating up 85 deliveries to make a laboured 24 that included just one four, from his 64th ball. None of the other players could muster more than 12, as Veer Pratap Singh and Laxmi Shukla chipped in with three scalps between them. Bengal, batting first, had made 167 from 42.1 overs on the back of handy contributions from Shukla (30) and Saurasish Lahiri (32), which helped them recover from an early onslaught from the seamer Yo Mahesh who effected four dismissals to rattle Bengals top order. © ESPN Sports Media Ltd. + Add comments Login - Register to post comments - Login Posted by on (March 11, 2014, 15:22 GMT) People in these pages need to stop rooting for Pathans or Sehwag based on their past. It is a good knock by Robin and I am excited about Karun. He looks like a good talent and hopefully will do well next season too. Time to expose people like him to Indian A team etc... Posted by CricketMakdi on (March 11, 2014, 14:22 GMT) @IndTheBest - Stop rooting for I Pathan, have you seen his bowling recently he is bowling at 121-125KM and no swing. He has lost the mojo. There are lot of other talent out there who are raring to go. Posted by on (March 11, 2014, 14:19 GMT) what a knock Im very happy.......

Posted by IndTheBest on (March 11, 2014, 13:13 GMT) Time to draft Uthappa in India team to boost their top order in limited over cricket. R Uthappa is in form of his life, can be a WC and very good field. Indian makeshift openers are struggling at this time so there is no better time to take the right decision. Its a high time to get R Uthappa as opener, Pujara in top-middle order and Manoj Tiwari in lower middle order. My Top 7 are - R Uthappa, Pujara, Kohli, Yuvraj, Manoj Tiwary, Dhoni, I Pathan followed by Jadeja and other 3 bowlers. + Add comments Login - Register to post comments - Login Post a comment Login/Register TopEmail Feedback Print Tournament Fixtures Tournament Results 1st Quarter-final: Gujarat v Karnataka at Kolkata - Mar 11 Karnataka won by 27 runs 2nd Quarter-final: Bengal v Tamil Nadu at Kolkata - Mar 11 Bengal won by 77 runs 4th Quarter-final: Jharkhand v Services at Kolkata Mar 12, 2014 (08:45 local | 03:15 GMT | 23:15 EDT | 22:15 CDT | 20:15 PDT) 3rd Quarter-final: Punjab v Railways at Kolkata Mar 12, 2014 (13:30 local | 08:00 GMT | 04:00 EDT | 03:00 CDT | 01:00 PDT) 1st Semi-final: Karnataka v TBA at Kolkata Mar 14, 2014 (08:45 local | 03:15 GMT | 23:15 EDT | 22:15 CDT | 20:15 PDT) 2nd Semi-final: Bengal v TBA at Kolkata Mar 14, 2014 (13:30 local | 08:00 GMT | 04:00 EDT | 03:00 CDT | 01:00 PDT) Complete fixtures » | Download Fixtures » Latest Most Viewed Most Discussed News | Features Pujara sharpening bowling skills PCB likely to back ICC revamp Rain threat looms large again Uthappa, Nair put Karnataka in semis Bowlers set up Indias big win Sitemap | Feedback | RSS | About Us | Privacy Policy | Terms of Use © ESPN Sports Media Ltd.
