Tamil Nadu were the first team to make the semi-final, their first sincethe 2016–17 edition, after their win over Saurashtra.[5] They secured a 155-run first innings lead, with onlyCheteshwar Pujara of Saurashtra offering any resistance to their bowling. CaptainR. Sai Kishore returned match figures of 9/93 and helped his side secure the victory by an innings and 33 runs.[6] Madhya Pradesh denied Andhra a maiden semi-final berth after defeating them in the fourth quarter-final. Requiring 170 runs to win after bundling Madhya Pradesh out for 107 in their second innings, Andhra were on course at 112 for 4 before captain and top-scorerHanuma Vihari was dismissed by Anubhav Agarwal.Ashwin Hebbar (22) added 32 runs for the ninth wicket and was the last batsman dismissed, byKulwant Khejroliya, who secured his team the win by a 4-run margin. Wicket-keeperHimanshu Mantri was a standout performer for the winners, with his 49 and 43; however, the man of the match was awarded to Agarwal for his match haul of 9/85.[7] Madhya Pradesh made the semi-final for the third time in a row.[8]
In the remaining quarter-final matches both of which went to final day of play, Vidarbha defeated Karnataka and Mumbai drew against Baroda, but progressed to the semi-final on first-innings lead.[9] Karnataka looked steady in their chase of a daunting 371 and entered day five at 103 for one, but four-wicket hauls byHarsh Dubey andAditya Sarwate meant they fell 127 runs short.[10] Mumbai gained a 36-run lead in the first innings after Baroda were bowled out for 348 in reply to the hosts' 384. In their second innings, their final pair ofTanush Kotian andTushar Deshpande put together a 232-runpartnership, with both making centuries, the second such instance in first-class cricket.[11] The match was called off at tea with Baroda reaching 121 for three in an improbable chase of 606; Mumbai progressed to the semi-final based on first innings lead.[12]
