Ganesh Sathish scored a patient 78 while Apoorv Wankhede smashed 45-ball 64 as Vidarbha beat Haryana by 68 runs in a Group A League match of the Vijay Hazare Trophy, in New Delhi.

Batting first, Vidarbha scored 237 for 9 in 50 overs and then bowled Haryana out for 169 in 42.3 overs.

Vidarbha's spin duo of left-armer Akshay Karnewar (4/29) and off-spinner Akshay Wakhare (3/38) took bulk of the spoils.

Vidarbha are now on 16 points from five games and have a real good chance of qualifying for the knock-outs.

Unmukt scores 64 on comeback as Delhi beat Kerala

Opener Unmukt Chand scored 64 in Delhi's successful run-chase against Kerala in an inconsequential Vijay Hazare Trophy encounter, in Bhubaneswar.

Chasing a victory target of 232, Delhi knocked off the runs in 44.1 overs notching up their second win in fifth game.

It was a good comeback game for Unmukt, who was dumped from the squad initially only to be brought back after Delhi's campaign ended.

He wasn't exactly fluent but batted responsibly enough as he played 85 balls hitting five boundaries and a six in the process. Skipper Rishabh Pant hit 35 off 26 balls with two fours and three huge sixes. Milind Kumar hit 40 off 37 balls with six boundaries and a six.

It was Manan Sharma, who ended the match with a huge six off Vinod Kumar's bowling.

Bengal post 14-run win over MP

Bengal scored 270 for eight and then restricted Madhya Pradesh to 256 in 49 overs, despite a fine century from Harpreet Singh.

Karnataka beat Hyderabad to seal QF berth

Karnataka rode on R Vinay Kumar's unbeaten knock under pressure to secure a thrilling one-run win over Hyderabad and seal a quarterfinal berth in the Vijay Hazare Trophy ODI one-day cricket tournament, in Kolkata.

Old warhorse Vinay Kumar used all his experience and remained unbeaten on 35 to guide Karnataka to victory after they were tottering for 81 for nine while chasing a paltry 109 run target at the Eden Gardens.

On a day when their premier batsmen showed lack of patience and got out playing rash shots, number nine, Vinay Kumar, playing his first match of the meet after recovering from an injury, held on to his nerve and played a patient 56-ball knock to take Karnataka to last eight round with five wins from as many matches.

Karnataka were 28 shy of the target when Vinay Kumar was joined by number 11 batsman Prasidh Krishna.

Earlier, off-spinner K Gowtham grabbed a career-best 5 for 28 to bundle out for 108 in 44 overs.

In reply, Karnataka were nine for two by the fifth over with Chama Milind striking in his first over with the left-arm seamer claiming two wickets in two balls castling Gowtham (16) and Manish Pandey (0) to reduce them to 39 for four.
