Kolkata, Jan 24 (CRICKETNMORE): <\/strong> Uttar Pradesh beat Baroda to stay in the hunt for a final berth along with Delhi in Group B, while Rajasthan won three out of three to fix a date with Punjab in another virtual semi-final of the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 cricket tournament here on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In an inconsequential match under floodlights at the Eden Gardens, talented India batsman Karun Nair struck a superlative 52-ball 100, which glittered with eight fours and seven sixes. Riding his knock, Karnataka posted 201\/4 beating a hapless Jharkhand by 123 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The winners of UP versus Delhi at the Jadavpur University and Rajasthan versus Punjab at the Eden Gardens on Thursday will play the final on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Suresh Raina continued his purple patch with the bat as UP braved a big total to win by seven wickets at the Jadavpur University campus ground in the first match of the day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Raina, coming off scores of 61 and 126 not out in his two previous innings -- hit a patient 47-ball 56, studded with five fours and two sixes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Put in to bat, Baroda posted a commanding 192\/3 riding opener Urvil Patel's T20 best 96, laced with 12 fours and four sixes. Deepak Hooda also smashed a 25-ball 45 (3x4, 3x6) as Mohsin Khan returned best figures of 2\/38 for UP.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In reply, opener Umang Sharma scripted a career-best 95 with Raina extending his golden run to a third successive day. UP won the tie with eight deliveries to spare posting 195\/3.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Umang raced to 95 off just 47 balls, his innings ended by a catch by Urvil. By then, Umang had dominated the second-wicket stand of 160.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Raina was dismissed with 33 needed off 24, and Rinku Singh applied the finishing touches with an unbeaten 26 off 11.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In the other match at the same venue, already-out Bengal took Tamil Nadu along with them with a seven-wicket win.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Tamil Nadu, after electing to bat, were restricted to 129\/9, with Bengal bowlers Kanishk Seth (3\/26), Sayan Ghosh (2\/19) and Aamir Gani (2\/16) sharing seven wickets among themselves. S. Anirudha was the highest scorer for TN with 37.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Bengal rode Sudip Chatterjee's second consecutive fifty (51 not out) to ease to the target with Writtick Chatterjee (44) also batting well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

At the Eden Gardens, Rajasthan's Mahipal Lomror's 55-ball 74 and seamer Deepak Chahar's three-wicket haul set up their team's 17-run win over Mumbai.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Electing to bat first, Rajasthan finished with 175\/6 riding 18-year old Lomror's 74 which was laced with four fours and the same number of sixes. What changed the match in their favour though was Tajinder Singh's quickfire 17-ball 43.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In reply, Mumbai could only manage 158\/8 as opener Akhil Herwadkar top-scored for them with a fighting 51-ball 68. Along with Jay Bista (29 off 18), he put on a 54-run stand for the opening wicket before Chahar, who picked up five wickets against Karnataka on Tuesday, dismissed Herwadkar, Shivam Dube and Akash Parkar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
