Well, that's the end of our coverage for this thrilling quarter-final game. Do join us tomorrow for the live coverage of the quarter-final 3. Till then, it's a ta-ta and a bbye from me, Anurag Dasgupta and my co-commentators, Arijit Kundu and Ninaad Dixit.
DG: That’s it, the match is done and dusted! A comprehensive victory for Himachal Pradesh who were considered the underdogs prior to the game, but Rishi Dhawan and his troops have responded in style and have notched up a 5-wicket win to seal their place in the semi-finals. Uttar Pradesh were never really in the contest and once they lost crucial wickets at the top of the order, there was no turning back for them.
Chasing a modest 208, Himachal Pradesh got off to a brisk start. Both the openers, Shubham Arora and Prashant Chopra started slowly and the plan was to negotiate the new ball. The surface had something in it for the pacers and Bhuvneshwar Kumar kept it tight in the initial few overs. The duo added 54 for the first wicket and laid a solid foundation for the middle order batters to follow. The 54 run stand was followed by yet another solid partnership between Chopra and Nikhil Gangta that really set the tone for the rest of the game.
When Gangta walked out to bat after the dismissal of Arora, the situation was a bit tricky for HP, but he soaked up the pressure and took the attack to the opposition. Chopra joined the party, but was sent back on 99, one run shy of a terrific century. By the time he was dismissed, the game was almost done and dusted. But a late hiccup sparked a ray of hope for UP, but the match was always in the grasp of Himachal. Uttar Pradesh will be disappointed with how things panned out. They were the heavy favourites for this clash, but now have to pack their bags.

1 Here comes the winning runs. The first occasion where Himachal Pradesh has able to beat Uttar Pradesh in the history of the Vijay Hazare tournament. Back of a length delivery angling wide from the right hander and Amit Kumar slices it over wide of mid off region with an angled bat and gets a single to take his team for a triumph.

43.6 Y Dayal to A Vasisht
0 Too full near the off and the batter drills it with soft hands, to the fielder at mid on. Himachal Pradesh are looking terrible lower down the order. They are soo close to the total with plenty of balls in hand, yet they are defending even the loose, or overpitched deliveries.
43.5 Y Dayal to A Vasisht
0 Short ball going over the shoulder length and the batter stays away from the incoming delivery.
43.4 Y Dayal to A Kumar
1 Pulls the length back and the batter swivels around and pulls it down fine leg for a single.
