Kolkata, Jan 24 - Uttar Pradesh beat Baroda while Bengal defeated Tamil Nadu at the Jadavpur University campus ground here on Wednesday to leave the Group B battle for a place in the final between Delhi and UP, in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 cricket tournament.
Baroda and Bengal were already out of the contention, with the latter taking Tamil Nadu along with them with a seven-wicket win.
Delhi and UP have eight points and play on Thursday in a virtual knockout clash at the Jadavpur University campus ground. Bengal are also on eight points but have played their quota of four matches. TN and Baroda, both on four points, have one match to go but with one team qualifying for the summit clash they have no chance.
In the first match of the day, UP's Umang Sharma edged out Baroda's Urvil Patel in the battle of the openers, helping the Suresh Raina-led side notch up a big win in a high-scoring encounter.
Put in to bat, Baroda posted a commanding 192/3 riding Patel's T20 best 96, laced with 12 fours and four sixes. Deepak Hooda also smashed a 25-ball 45 (3x4, 3x6) as Mohsin Khan returned best figures of 2/38 for UP.
