Little did anyone know the match between Tamil Nadu and Arunachal Pradesh will be such a one-sided affair. Tamil Nadu who lost the toss and came to bat first made 506 runs for the loss of two wickets going past the previous best, England's 498/4 against Netherlands in Amstelveen earlier this year. The previous highest List A total in India was 457 for four by Mumbai against Puducherry in 2021.
Tamil Nadu’s openers put on a show. Sai Sudarshan made 154 runs off 102 deliveries while his partner Narayan Jagadeesan made 277 off 141 balls. His attacking innings was laced with 25 boundaries and 15 sixes.
After posting such a mammoth total, Tamil Nadu’s bowlers bamboozled the Andhra Pradesh batters. They managed to dismiss the opposing team in just 71 runs and won the match by 435 runs.
