KL Shrijith mastered it in the game by hitting 150 runs from just 101 balls. KV Avneesh also did very well by adding 82 from 66 balls, and note Pravin Dubey, who contributed with 65 runs from 50 balls. Because of what they did, Karnataka got to the target with 3.4 overs to spare.

Karnataka's openers really got things ready for this important chase. Captain Mayank Agarwal scored 47 and Nikin Jose added 21 from just 13 balls, giving their team a strong start. This chase has made it to the second spot in the record books of VHT history, but Andhra Pradesh still holds the top spot since they ran down 384 against Goa in 2012.
