Former champions Mumbai claimed three points against Baroda after their four-day Elite Group A game ended in a tame draw at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday.
The only interest left when play commenced was whether Baroda, who conceded a 29-run lead on Sunday, could skittle out the hosts and 41-time champions cheaply in the second innings and give themselves enough time to force an outright victory.
But that was not to be as Mumbai, who resumed at 20 for two, lost the wicket of captain Siddhesh Lad very early before the remaining batsmen ensured that Baroda did not come back into the game.
Although the other first innings centurion other than Lad, Shreyas Iyer (30), too, departed before lunch, the lower middle order held fort and took Mumbai to 307 for seven, an overall lead of 336, before declaring the innings closed.
Play was then called off with Baroda not commencing their second innings.
In the Mumbai second essay, Shubham Ranjane (64 in 105 balls) Eknath Kerkar (56 not out in 115 balls) and Shivam Dube, who struck a brisk 76 in 60 balls studded with 7 sixes and three fours, got the major portion of the runs.
Baroda got one point from the drawn encounter.
Meanwhile, at Nashik, Saurashtra defeated hosts Maharashtra by 5 wickets.
For Saurashtra, slow-left arm orthodox bowlers Dharmendrasinh Jadeja grabbed seven wickets in the second innings as he wreaked havoc on the Maharashtra batsmen.
While chasing, Saurashtra lost half their side, but eventually romped home.
At the Karnail Singh stadium in New Delhi, Vidarbha hammered Railways by 118 runs with Aditya Sarvate taking six wickets to bowl out Railways for 124 in their second essay.
While Karnataka took three points as their game ended in a tame draw against Gujarat on the basis of the first innings lead at Surat.
Punjab-TN match ends draw
Mohali: Punjab gained three points as Tamil Nadu held firm for a draw on the final day of the Elite Group 'B' match.
Faced with a massive deficit of 264 runs, the visitors saw skipper Baba Indrajith (93), Dinesh Karthik (74) and Vijay Shankar (51 not out) get among the runs to defy the Punjab bowlers and finish the day at 383 for 6.
The result meant Tamil Nadu, now on 12 points, is almost out of contention for a berth in the knockout phase.
Punjab also has the same number of points, but has played one game less.
Five teams from Group 'A' and 'B' put together will advance to the quarterfinals, based on the number of points accrued.
On a track that was easier to bat as the game wore on, the Tamil Nadu batsmen made sure the home side did not get the opening they were seeking in the quest for a win and also six points.
In other Group 'B' matches, Himachal Pradesh outclassed Andhra Pradesh by an innings and three runs in Atmar to gain seven points while the Bengal-Hyderabad encounter ended in a draw.
Tripura trounce Goa
Agartala: Tripura hammered Goa by 10 wickets in their Elite Group C game.
Tripura were in command from the first day and it took them less than an over to chase the 8-run target on the final day and add seven points to their kitty.
Following on Goa batsmen, barring Suyash Prabhudessai (65), faltered against Harmeet Singh (3-46) and M B Mura Singh (3-55).
Goa began from their overnight score of 113/3 but Prabhudessai ran out of partners and could not take the side to challenging total.
The target was easily overhauled by Tripura.
Meanwhile, at the Palam ground in the national capital, Services grabbed 7 points as they overcame Assam by 10 wickets.
For Services, pacer Diwesh Pathania (5-56) picked his second five-wicket haul of the match and ended the game with a 10-wicket haul.
Chasing 72 for an outright win, Services openers Nakul Verma (39 not out) and Navneet Singh (31 not out) took the side home with ease in 18.1 overs.
And at Lucknow, Jharkhand took three points after their match against Uttar Pradesh ended in a draw.
Nagaland salvage draw
Jorhat: Pacer Ishwar Chaudhary grabbed a six-wicket haul as Sikkim thrashed Mizoram by 105 runs in their Plate Group fixture.
In Dehradun, Nagaland's Arbar Kazi produced a strong rearguard fightback with 157 not out in an unbroken 137-run seventh wicket partnership with Nitesh Lohchab (44 not out) to salvage a draw against group leaders Uttarakhand.
This was Uttarakhand's first draw after five successive wins as they had to settle for three points on basis of their first innings lead.
Needing two wickets to seal the win on the final day, Sikkim bundled out Mizoram for 236 in 74.5 overs to seal their third win with two sessions to spare.
