Pondicherry pocketed seven points following an innings and a 195-run win over Nagaland. Nagaland, who had resumed the day’s play at 230/7, could only add 24 runs to their overnight score and were bowled out for 254. Santhamoorthy picked up five wickets for Pondicherry in the second innings.

The Parthiv Patel-led side registered their sixth win from nine matches as they beat Andhra by eight wickets to bag six points. Axar Patel, who had scalped five wickets at the close of the third day’s play, added two more wickets to his account as Gujarat bowled out Andhra for 258 and then chased down the 30-run target in 9.5 overs.

Andhra, though, managed to secure a spot in the quarter finals after finishing in the top five of the Elite Group A and B.

Haryana’s lower order played a vital role as they beat Jammu and Kashmir by two wickets to cap off a season with a win.
