Same has been the case with Karnataka, who are placed fourth in the points table.
Maharashtra suffered a loss against Services in their second game. Ruturaj Gaikwad scored a scintillating ton as Maharashtra posted 185 on the board. The bowlers failed to step up as Services chased down the total with four balls to spare.
Saurashtra beat Baroda in a nerve-wracking contest to go to the top of the table in Elite Group D. Baroda set a target of 175 for Saurashtra.
