Menaria (Haryana Captain): "Feeling proud to reach the finals and all are very happy. Ofcourse, Tamil Nadu has a very good side and we have a good
side but we put roles simply. The coach is very good and he's planning well. Not enough runs, we assumed 340 runs but when we started bowling I
realized that score was enough to defend. Yes, Chahal is absent but Amit Rana is
bowled well and he set the things. We need 7 wickets as soon as possible and we
did it. Thanks."
Himanshu Rana (Player of the match)-"It was a big match and scoring runs in these games feels good. The wicket was good, I knew making a partnership was necessary to make things easy.
I and Sumit tried to take the game deep to post a big total. I knew 294 was a fighting as our bowlers are really good. This was a really good wicket, we took time so and that's why we though to take some time initially."

Dinesh Karthik (Tamil Nadu captain)- "They batted really well. Himanshu was very good and Yuvraj also batted well. We had to shuffle the batting order as Indrajith slipped at the washroom during the break and had a cut. But taking nothing away from them, they did really well.
I think their pace bowling was good. We failed to score big runs and I think we have a lot of work to do. Vijay's wicket was a big wicket, I got out at the wrong time.
Haryana played really well. Anshul was net bowler of RCB and he has done very well. I wish them the best."

09.25 PM IST & Local Time: Time for the post match presentation...
09.18 PM IST & Local Time: That's it...Haryana clinched a spot in the final with an impressive all-round performance, securing a 63-run victory over Tamil Nadu in the semifinal. Their comprehensive win showcased a collective effort, propelling them to the coveted first place in the final.
Earlier, opting to bat after winning the toss, Haryana faced an early setback as Ankit Kumar departed cheaply with a score of 12. Yuvraj Singh's fluent 65 off 79 balls showcased promise, but it was Himanshu Rana's exceptional performance at number 3 that defined the innings. Rana anchored the team, navigating through momentum shifts, ultimately crafting an unbeaten 116* off 118 balls. Contributions from Rohit Sharma (17), Sumit Kumar's dynamic 48 off 30 balls, and a quickfire 12* off 4 balls from Harshal Patel propelled Haryana to a competitive 293/7 in 50 overs.
Tamil Nadu's bowling effort displayed a mix of brilliance
and struggle. Despite a strong start in the powerplay and a resilient middle
overs comeback, they faltered in the death overs. Natarajan claimed three
wickets but conceded 79 runs in 10 overs, while Varun Chakravarthy (2/67 in 10
overs) and Sai Kishore (2/41 in 10 overs).
In pursuit of a target of 294 runs, Tamil Nadu's innings faced early setbacks with Baba Aparajith and N Jagadeesan, losing two wickets within 3 overs. However, Jagadeesan and Vijay Shankar steadied the ship, contributing 45 runs for the third wicket before Shankar departed at 23. The middle order showed promise with Jagadeesan and Baba Indrajith adding 22 runs for the fourth wicket.
Dinesh Karthik and Indrajith's partnership of 58 runs, their efforts were cut short as Karthik departed at 31 runs. Sai Kishore and Indrajith combined for a 36-run seventh-wicket stand. However, Indrajith, the standout performer, departed after scoring a valiant 64 off 71 balls, while Sai Kishore contributed 29 runs. Tamil Nadu eventually folded for 230 runs in 47.1 overs.
Haryana's bowling display was led by Anshul Kamboj, who claimed 4 wickets in 9 overs for 30 runs. Rahul Tewatia secured a couple of wickets, while Nishant Sindhu, Sumit Kumar, and Harshal Patel each contributed with a wicket. This collective effort ensured Haryana's triumph and a place in the final.
Stick around for the post-match presentation…
HARYANA WILL PLAY THE FINAL OF THE VIJAY HAZARE TROPHY FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER IN THE HISTORY!!
47.1 R Tewatia to V Chakravarthy
W A loud appeal from the bowling end and the umpire turns it down. Good length delivery, on the middle and leg stump line, Varun covers the stumps line and looks to flick on the leg side but misses it and wears it on his front pad. A huge appeal from the bowling side and the umpire denied it. The bowling side takes a review, there's no bat involved in the ultra edge and three reds in ball tracking. That means OUT.
