Summary
- Madhya Pradesh secured a five-wicket win against Kerala.
- Rajat Patidar played a crucial role with an unbeaten 36.

Madhya Pradesh achieved a five-wicket victory over Kerala in a SMAT Group C encounter at the New PCA stadium. Captain Rajat Patidar anchored the chase with a composed 36 not out, guiding his team to the target with eight balls remaining.
Earlier, opener Akshat Raghuwanshi gave Madhya Pradesh a strong start with a 45-run contribution. Despite a middle-order stutter where three wickets fell for 23 runs, Patidar and Rahul Batham's steady partnership ensured their side's triumph.
Kerala had posted a sub-par total of 138 for six, with Salman Nizar top-scoring with 69 and Akhil Scaria adding 32. Their innings struggled initially, falling to 30 for three before Nizar and Scaria steadied the ship. However, their fielding errors, including four dropped catches, proved costly in the end.
