Maharashtra defeated Uttar Pradesh by 58 runs in the second quarter-final. Uttar Pradesh opted to bowl after winning the toss. The decision, however, backfired as Maharashtra skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad smashed an unbeaten 220 off 159 balls.

Assam thumped Jammu and Kashmir by seven wickets in the third quarter-final. Sent in to bat after losing the toss, J&K came up with a terrific batting effort to post 350/7 in their 50 overs. Henan Nazir (124 off 113) and Shubham Khajuria (120 off 84) played excellent knocks.

Assam, however, gunned down the total in 46.1 overs as Riyan Parag smacked 174 in 116 balls with the aid of 12 fours and as many sixes. Rishav Das anchored the chase with 114* off 118 balls.

In the fourth quarter-final, Saurashtra got the better of Tamil Nadu by 44 runs. Tamil Nadu bowled first after winning the toss and ended up conceding 293 while claiming eight Saurashtra wickets. Harvik Desai (61), Chirag Jani (52*), and Arpit Vasavada (51) all played crucial knocks.
