Cuttack
Put into bat, Himachal suffered an early jolt when openers and in-form batsmen Ankush Bains (7) and Prashant Chopra (13) fell within 27 runs and the team never recovered from the blows to be bowled out for 216.
Chasing, B Aparajith and Gandhi added 107 runs for the second wicket to guide Tamil Nadu to the finish line. Aparajith’s 62 off 65 balls was studded with five fours and a six. It was then veteran Dinesh Karthik and Gandhi’s turn to guide TN home.
Brief scores: Himachal Pradesh 216 in 49.5 overs (A Kaushik 62, R Bist 57, P Jaiswal 30, Aswin Crist 5/31, W Antony Dhas 2/64) lost to Tamil Nadu 217/2 in 42.2 overs (K Gandhi 107*, B Aparajith 52, D Karthik 45)
