Sarfaraz Khan smashed 14 sixes on his way to a scintillating 157 off just 75 balls in Mumbai's gargantuan effort of 444/8 in 50 overs against Goa. Musheer, Sarfaraz's brother, got a half-century while Hardik Tamore hit 53 off just 28 to propel Mumbai further in their 87-run win.

Maharashtra captain Ruturaj Gaikwad scored a century too, going a touch slower than Sarfaraz did for Mumbai, but created the same impact on the result. Gaikwad's 113-ball 124 and a few notable efforts from the lower-order powered the team to 331/7 - a total steep enough to earn them a 129-run victory over Uttarakhand.

Mohanty made 17* off 12 while Pradhan hit two sixes and a four in a nine-ball 21*.

Haryana skipper Ankit Kumar led from the front in chase against Services as he outshone Irfan Ali (103 off 113) with an unbeaten 144 off 123 - a knock laced with 14 fours and four sixes. He enabled a successful chase of Services' 275/3 in just 43.1 overs.

Chhattisgarh powered their way to a mammoth 229-run victory over Sikkim, and it was a two-part assault.

They finished with 355/3 and then the bowlers swung into action.

Utkarsh Singh (123* off 120) and Shikhar Mohan (90 off 108) led Jharkhand's charge in what was Tamil Nadu's third defeat in four games in the competition.

This came after two Rajasthan batters had a good outing themselves as Karan Lamba scored an undefeated 119 and Deepak Hooda made 86.

Karnataka beat Puducherry through centuries from openers Mayank Agarwal (132 off 124) and Devdutt Padikkal (113 off 116). This is now Padikkal's third century of the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy. Karun Nair swung for the fences too with a 34-ball 62* as Karnataka posted 363/4 and won by 67 runs.
