Pujara made a fighting 65 but he kept losing partners at the other end. He added 59 with Yusuf Pathan for the sixth wicket but the top order, who had to ensure a steady start for a successful run-chase, failed to deliver. India Green were disappointing in the field yet again, conceding quite a few runs through misfields and overthrows, and that probably cost them the match as the difference between the two sides at the end of the day was just 19 runs.
The Greens were 95 for 5 at one stage, losing the likes of Raina and Rajat Bhatia to needless shots, and a score, which in hindsight looked gettable, ended up proving a little too much.
Having failed to improve upon their mistakes from yesterday's match, India Green have missed out on a berth in tomorrow's final.
Join us tomorrow for the final of the tournament between India Blue and India Red. Hopefully, the rain will stay away and we'll get a full match!
Until then, it's goodbye and goodnight from Siddhartha Talya on the commentary and Sanjay Murari from the scoring duties.
