In the end, Karnataka edged Hyderabad out by 2 runs but the match was marred by an umpiring incident which saw ugly exchanges between both sides at the half-way mark.

The incident happened when Karnataka opener Karun Nair flicked a delivery off Mohammed Siraj over the mid-wicket and picked up a couple of runs.

Mehdi Hassan, the fielder, ran towards the ball and picked it up before it could cross the ropes. However, replays clearly showed that he had stepped on the boundary, but umpire Ulhas Gandhe didn't bother to go upstairs for a video replay, with Karnataka ending their innings on 203/5.

When Karnataka came out to bowl, skipper Vinay Kumar walked up to the umpire and two runs were added to the target, which was changed to 206 from 204, which irked Hyderabad captain Ambati Rayudu.

As fate would have it, Hyderabad lost the tie by two runs as they folded up scoring 203/9 at the end of their 20 overs.
