Overnight at 110/8, Karnataka were bowled out for 114 early in the morning. Uttar Pradesh did struggle with Aryan Juyal & Samarth Singh departing early, reducing UP to 28/2 but Priyam Garg and captain Karan Sharma added 59-run stand to steady the ship.
While K Gowtham removed Priyam Garg to deal a blow in the chase but Karan Sharma was in his element. UP lost Rinku Singh and Dhruv Juyel in quick succession with Kaverappa and Vyshak Vijay striking.
But then on, it was smooth sailing. Prince Yadav and Karan Sharma added a 99-run for the sixth wicket, ensuring UP booked their spot in the semifinals.

Captaining the team in his very first season for UP, the 23-year-old Sharma, playing his fourth first-class match, showed solid temperament in their chase of 213 after Priyam Garg made an elegant 60-ball 52.
Sharma, who scored a second innings century in their win over Maharashtra that sealed their quarter-final berth, once again stood like a rock.
The Lucknow Super Giants batter, who faced 163 balls (119 of them dots), paced his innings brilliantly, especially at the fag end of the day.

That the slow pitch had little to offer for the pacers also played a part as Sharma happily took on Ronit More, pulling him in front of square, even on front foot.
He slammed 13 fours and one six in his knock as UP fashioned a memorable win with two days to spare.
The skipper found an able ally in Prince Yadav who played a patient innings of 33 not out from 73 balls (3×4, 1×6) in their unbroken match-winning partnership of 99 runs.

Earlier, it was their India ‘A’ left-arm spinner Saurabh Kumar who returned with a match-haul of seven wickets to turn it around for the Vijay Dahiya-coached UP after they suffered a first-innings batting collapse to concede a 98-run first-innings lead.
Saurabh returned with 3/36 in the second essay which included the prized scalps of Mayank Agarwal as Karnataka failed to build on their healthy lead and were bundled out for 114 on the third day morning.
Yash Dayal grabbed the last two wickets to complete the formalities as Karnataka, who were overnight 100/8, were bowled out in five overs.
On a docile pitch, there was a sheer lack of application from the star-studded Karnataka batting line-up.
Their Big Three of Mayank Agarwal, Karun Nair and captain Manish Pandey combined for just 36 runs in the second essay highlighted their plight in the absence of Devdutt Padikkal who was sidelined for the match.
