Elsewhere, Bengal secured an eight-wicket victory over Mizoram, with Abhishek Porel (81) and Karan Lal (67) leading the charge. Mizoram’s Mohit Jangra offered late resistance with an unbeaten 80. Uttar Pradesh comfortably defeated Manipur by seven wickets, thanks to Aryan Juyal’s 29-ball fifty. Andhra Pradesh notched their second win, defeating Goa, despite Suyash Prabhudessai’s 71*, with Ricky Bhui’s 72* leading the charge. Kerala thrashed Nagaland by eight wickets, Rohan Kunnummal’s 28-ball 57 paving the way. Vidarbha overcame Puducherry by seven wickets, with Karun Nair’s 65 and Atharva Taide’s unbeaten 49 forming a strong opening partnership. Bihar edged out Meghalaya by eight runs in a closely fought contest, while Uttarakhand cruised to an eight-wicket win over Sikkim, largely due to Yuvraj Choudhary’s all-round brilliance (4-15 and 61*). Finally, Jammu & Kashmir recorded a record-breaking win against Arunachal Pradesh, chasing down 32 runs in just three overs – the joint-fastest run chase in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy history.
