J & K vs Haryana: Jammu and Kashmir's resistance comes to an end with Umar Nazir's wicket in the last over.
Delhi vs Himachal: Kshitiz and Lalit make no room for further errors to comfortably see their side home!
Chandigarh vs Services: So Chandigarh wins the race alright, but not without providing some last moment jump scares. The narrowest of margins - five runs - decides the match!
Delhi vs Himachal: With Dhawan gone for nought, Dhruv Shorey took it upon himself to do much of the scoring before falling for 51 in the 26th over. Nitish Rana followed it up with a well-made 42. Kshitiz Sharma and Lalit Yadav, currenty at the crease, still have some distance to cover. Delhi 180/4 in 39.5 overs.
Assam vs Nagaland: Assam finally gets rid of Shrikant Mundhe and that should do it. With not much of batting to come, the side should safely be romping home in a few minutes from now. Nagaland 166/6 in 37 overs.
Bengal vs Saurashtra: Saurashtra sends Bengal's last four men back to the dugout in a matter of a few minutes to wrap up the game. Four points for Jaydev Unadkat and Co.

J & K vs Haryana: Jammu and Kashmir has done well to remain calm under pressure.
