After electing to bat first in their previous game against Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu scored 154/7 thanks to Vijay Shankar's 56-run knock off 35 balls. However, their bowling was not up to the mark as Madhya Pradesh chased the target in 18.4 overs with seven wickets in hand.

Nagaland have struggled this season so far with four losses in five games and one being washed out. In their previous game, they set a target of just 68 runs for Karnataka after suffering a batting collapse. Only two of their batters (Hokaito Zhimomi and RS Jaganath Sinivas) got into double digits.

Karnataka chased down the target in 7.5 overs with nine wickets in hand.
