Green's response to 303 is probably described as a meek surrender. Besides Tiwary, who top scored with 65, the rest failed to make a fist of the target, or at least deny Reds a bonus point.

Reds are through to the final after bagging a bonus point today and this means that India Green will have to win by a thumping margin tomorrow (against India Blue) if they are to qualify.

We hope you enjoyed the coverage today. Do join us again tomorrow for the final league match, between India Blue and India Green (starts 9.00 GMT) . Till then, it's cheers!
