Top batsmen like Tanmay Agarwal and Tilak Verma were dismissed cheaply for 1 and 8 respectively. However, Tanay Thyagarajan put a little effort by scoring 25 off 24 balls to propel Hyderabad to 90 runs.

In response to the target of 91 runs, Tamil Nadu lost an early wicket Narayana Jagadeeshan for 1 run, followed up with Hari Nishant for 14 runs.

Shankar and Sudharsan took Tamil Nadu to victory with 34 balls to spare. Hyderabad’s Rakshann Reddi scalped two wickets.

Karnataka beat Vidarbha: In the other semifinal, despite missing star players, Karnataka managed to scrape through to a 4-run victory.
Asked to bat first, Karnataka were off to a good start with Rohan Kadam and Manish Pandey putting up a brilliant partnership of 132 runs for the first wicket. Kadam played a match-defining knock of 87 off 55 balls, while Manish scored 54 off 42 balls. In the final over, the Karnataka batting line-up began to topple as they lost four wickets in just 1 run, thanks to Darshan Nalkande 4-wicket haul.
In response to the target of 177 runs, Vidarbha’s Atharva Taide and Ganesh Satish provided a great start to Vidarbha in the first four overs. After Taide’s wicket, Vidarbha continued to put a brilliant fight with Apoorv Wankhade and Akshay Karnewar sharing a 51-run partnership for the sixth wicket. But went in vain as Karnataka bowlers restricted them to 172/6. Karnataka’s KC Cariappa scalped two wickets, while Darshan MB, Vidyadhar Patil, Jagadeesha Suchith and Karun Nair picked one wicket each.
