It was another record-breaking performance as Prithvi Shaw and Devdutt Paddikal broke records during the 2nd Semi-finals played at the Palam Air Force Ground, New Delhi on Thursday.

Karnataka captain R Samarth won the toss and decided to field first. Jaiswal was dismissed cheaply by Prasidh Krishna cheaply. Shaw looked solid at one end putting pressure on Karnataka bowlers smashing Krishna for 21 runs in the 8th over to shift the momentum. It was an amazing batting performance by Shaw who kept his dream run continuing. After completing his half-century, the explosive opener opened his arms more and looked in sensational touch.

After the fall of Aditya Tare’s wicket, Shams Mulani came to the crease and put more pressure on the Karnataka bowlers. Shaw smashed his fourth century of the tournament off 79 balls. Mulani and Shaw added 159 runs for the 3rd wicket to keep the momentum going for Mumbai. Shaw created enough pressure and completed his 150 off the next 32 balls. He was eventually dismissed for a superb 165 off 122 balls with 17 fours and 7 sixes. Mumbai lost quick wickets at regular intervals to be bowled out for 322 in 49.2 overs.

Chasing 323 runs to win, Karnataka lost an early wicket of R Samarth cheaply. Devdutt Paddikal continued his sensational form in the tournament and smacked a run-ball 64 before being dismissed by Solanki to be in big trouble at 97 for 4. Karun Nair, Shreyas Gopal, Krishnappa Gowtham all got starts but was not able to convert into big scores. BR Sharath also tried his best but was dismissed. Mumbai bowled out Karnataka for 250 in 42.4 overs to win the match by 72 runs. For Mumbai, Kotian, Solanki, Mulani, and Tushar Deshpande took 2 wickets each, while Kulkarni and Jaiswal picked 1 wicket each.

Prithvi Shaw and Paddikal surpassed Mayank Agarwal’s score of 723 that he scored in the 2017/2018 season. In the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy, Shaw has made so far 754 runs from 7 matches (7 innings) with 4 centuries. He broke the highest individual score in the Vijay Hazare Trophy of 227 against Puducherry. He will have another chance to score big against Uttar Pradesh in the finals to be played on 14th March. Shaw became the third batsman after Kohli and Paddikal to smash 4 centuries in Vijay Hazare Trophy.

Devdutt Paddikal ended the season with 737 runs from 7 matches (7 innings) with 4 centuries and 3 half-centuries. He made the best score of 152 helping Karnataka to reach the semi-finals.
