Khel Sangram's video: Vijay Hazare Trophy 2019 Semifinal - 2: Highlights Gujarat v Tamil Nadu

Gujarat vs Tamil Nadu, Semi Final - 2: Vijay Hazare Trophy 2019 Tamil Nadu won by 5 wickets Just a few miles away from the Chinnaswamy stadium, Tamil Nadu emerged victors against Gujarat in a truncated contest to enter the finals for the sixth time in the history of the tournament. The game was reduced to 40-overs per side due to wet outfield conditions at the Just Cricket Academy in Bangalore. The addition of India's ace Test spinner Ravi Ashwin proved too good for Priyank Panchal, who danced down the wicket early on in his innings, only to gift a stumping chance to Tami Nadu's skipper Dinesh Karthik in the fourth over of the game. Six balls later, Parthiv Patel was trapped plumb lbw by Washington Sundar and that meant both Gujarat openers were back in the hut inside five overs. Deprived of a solid foundation at the top, Gujarat's middle and lower-middle order were strangled by spin and hence, only two batters managed to get past the 30-run mark. The experienced Axar Patel too felt the pressure of a knock-out game and lack of support at the other end meant Gujarat could only muster 177 at the end of 40 overs. Tamil Nadu, were made to work hard for every single run after they lost two of their top three batsmen inside ten overs. There were moments of concern when they lost half the side for 96, but the arrival of promising talent Sharukh Khan calmed the nerves in the Tamil Nadu dressing room as he along with Washington Sundar, engineered an 85-run stand for the sixth wicket to complete the formalities in the penultimate over of the game. Brief scores:Gujarat177 for 9 (Dhruv Raval 40; M Mohammed 3-23) lost to Tamil Nadu 181 for 5 (Shahrukh Khan 56*; Chintan Gaja 1-21) by five wickets.
