Batting first, they made 189 runs for the loss of three wickets courtesy of half-centuries from Sameer Rizvi and Rinku Singh. Tripura could only manage 121 runs in response, as Mohsin Khan starred with a spell of 3/20 in the second innings.

Karnataka are off to a good start in the tournament, much like their Wednesday's opponents. They are coming into this match on the back of a thumping win against Nagaland. Nagaland were restricted to 67/9 in 20 overs and Mayank Agarwal's team took only 7.5 overs to complete the run chase.

Both Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka have picked up two wins, one defeat and another match was abandoned.
