Karnataka chased down Gujarat’s 358 target with five wickets to spare, a run‑rate that rattled the hosts.
Anvay Dravid, now captain, anchored the slog with a blistering 151 off 100 balls. Partnering with Dhruv Krishnan, he forged a 204‑run stand that tilted the balance, leaving the Gujarat bowlers scrambling.
Gujarat’s chase began shakily, losing their first wicket at 19. A 66‑run partnership between Shaurya Pancholi and Ved Patel steadied the innings, but the real drama unfolded when Sameer Bhandari and Yash Panjwani smashed a 217‑run partnership to push Gujarat to 357.
Meanwhile, Delhi’s Aaryavir Sehwag lit up the scoreboard with 173 off 143, yet his 18‑year‑old captain’s side fell short as Chandigarh breezed past with a 5‑wicket victory.
Karnataka’s win cements their spot at the top of the Elite standings, while the loss sees Delhi stuck at the bottom. The next matchup pits Karnataka against Delhi, a clash that could decide the tournament’s final.
