Poor performance of Madhya Pradesh
Chasing a mammoth target, Madhya Pradesh got off to a very bad start. Mukesh Kumar did not even allow Arham Akeel to open the account and lbw out. Captain Himanshu Mantri (51) scored a half-century, but he did not get the support of other batsmen. Harsh Gawli (48), Aman Solanki (31), and Ankit Kushwaha (23) put up a fight, but it was not enough.
Saurabh Kumar took the maximum of three wickets from the Rest of India. Pulkit Narang, Atit Seth, and Mukesh Kumar got two wickets each. Navdeep Saini was successful in taking a wicket.
