MP vs AND

Commentary

Madhya Pradesh beat Andhra by 4 runs, qualify for the semifinals.

A humdinger in Indore as hosts Madhya Pradesh came out on the right side of their contest against Andhra to make it to the semifinals. Once Karan Shinde (14) and Hanuma Vihari (55) were dismissed soon and Shoaib Mohammed Khan bagged a golden duck, all looked lost for Andhra. From 129/8, Girinath Reddy (15) and Ashwin Hebbar (22) shared a 32-run stand to bring the visitors back into the contest. Anubhav Agarwal then removed Girinath for his sixth wicket before Kulwant Khejroliya wrapped things up with Hebbar's wicket as Madhya Pradesh held on for dear life.

Stumps on Day 3 - Andhra 95/4, require 75 more runs to win.

Andhra's bowlers needed to pull off something special and they sure did, routing Madhya Pradesh for 107 in the second innings to set up a target of 170. Nitish Kumar Reddy snagged four wickets while KV Sasikanth and Lalith Mohan took three apiece with only Himanshu Mantri (43) offering some sort of a resistance for the hosts. While Andhra lost four wickets in their chase, Hanuma Vihari (43*) is still out there and the longer he bats, the greater their chances are of securing a famous win and a berth in the semifinals. Which way will this finish?

Stumps on Day 2 - Madhya Pradesh 21/0, lead Andhra by 83 runs in the 2nd innings.

A roaring comeback by Madhya Pradesh having been bowled out for their overnight score of 234. A collective bowling effort headlined by three-fers for Anubhav Agarwal and Kumar Kartikeya Singh saw them bowl Andhra out for 172 with Karan Shinde (38) and skipper Ricky Bhui (32) failing to convert their starts. With a crucial lead of 62, the openers then saw out the rest of the day to leave the hosts in a solid position ahead of Day 3. Can Andhra's bowlers vault them back into the game?

Stumps on Day 1 - Madhya Pradesh 234/9 in the 1st innings.

From 123/0, Madhya Pradesh sunk to 234/9 by Stumps on the opening day in Indore, with Andhra's bowlers roaring back in some style. Yash Dubey (64) and Himanshu Mantri (49) set things up for the hosts with a beautiful opening partnership but KV Sasikanth and Nitish Kumar Reddy shared seven wickets between them to derail the batting innings of the 2021-22 champions. Can Saransh Jain (41*) offer a stubborn resistance and stretch this total past 250?
