Chhattisgarh post 253 in 48.4 overs, with Amandeep Khare leading the effort. The captain plays a steady hand for 76 off 89 before falling late, caught by Naman Dhir off Sukhdeep Bajwa, as the innings comes to a close.
Amandeep Khare continues to hold Chhattisgarh together, staying unbeaten on 66 off 81 balls. With the captain anchoring one end, Chhattisgarh move to 236/7 in 46 overs, looking to push for a strong finish despite the wickets that have fallen around him.
Chhattisgarh lose Mayank Verma for 64 off 70, trapped lbw by Raghu Sharma after anchoring the innings beautifully. Sanjeet Desai departs cheaply for 2 off 5, caught by Harpreet Brar, while Amandeep Khare stays unbeaten on 25 off 33 and Vikalp Tiwari on 2 off 7, keeping Chhattisgarh ticking along.

Runs are hard to come by, and Chhattisgarh need to steady the ship.
Chhattisgarh have an early dent against Punjab. The opening stand doesn’t last long as Aayush Pandey is knocked over by Sukhdeep Bajwa, managing 10 off 16 before the breakthrough arrives.
Anuj Tiwary is still there, just getting started on 5 off 8, with Mayank Verma stepping in alongside him. A cautious phase now as Chhattisgarh look to settle after losing an opener.
Punjab (Playing XI): Prabhsimran Singh(w/c), Harnoor Singh, Anmolpreet Singh, Salil Arora, Naman Dhir, Ramandeep Singh, Sukhdeep Bajwa, Harpreet Brar, Gurnoor Brar, Krish Bhagat, Raghu Sharma
Chhattisgarh (Playing XI): Aayush Pandey, Anuj Tiwary, Mayank Verma(w), Sanjeet Desai, Amandeep Khare(c), Vikalp Tiwari, Mohit Raut, Harsh Yadav, Shubham Agarwal, Sourabh Majumdar, Ravi Kiran
Punjab have won the toss and opted to bowl first. No Shubman and Abhishek, Prabhsimran to lead Punjab.
After sitting out the opener, India captain Shubman Gill is expected to feature in Punjab’s second match of the tournament. Leadership duties, though, are likely to remain with Abhishek Sharma, who should continue to lead the side.
