Vinayak Bhoir who scored 37 with the bat also chipped in with the ball taking 3/26 with his left arm spin. It was a good team performance and Vinayak Bhoir & Vidyadhar Kamat were adjudged “man of the match” for their great show.

With a big win in the Quarter finals, Karnataka will definitely be a team to look out for in the semi finals.
