After Gujarat paved their way to the semi-finals on Day 4 itself, rest three teams also did the needful to book their semi-final berth.

Karnataka, led by Karun Nair, clinched the semi-final spot after defeating Jammu and Kashmir by 167 runs in the quarter-final. Despite Jammu and Kashmir‘s valiant effort to etch their name into the record books by progressing into the semi-finals, a robust Karnataka bowling force dented the ambitions of Parvez Rasool and Co. after bowling then out for 163 runs. After gathering 316 runs in their second innings, Karnataka’s bowling lineup decimated Jammu to book a berth in the semi-finals of the Ranji Trophy 2019-20.

Krishnappa Gowtham’s seven-wicket haul paved way for a facile win for Karnataka as they clinched the victory by 167 runs. Jammu and Kashmir’s wickets kept tumbling at constant intervals as their batsmen proved unsuccessful in sticking at the wicket on Day 5. Krishnamurthy Siddharth, who scored 76 and 98 in first and second innings respectively, was adjudged Man of the Match for his batting heroics.

Saurashtra and Bengal also advance to the semi-finals

The encounter between Saurashtra and Andhra Pradesh resulted in a draw but the former paved their way in the semi-final as they took the first-innings lead over the latter. Jaydev Unadkat and Co. already put Andhra on the backfoot by amassing a mammoth total of 426 runs in their second innings as Prerak Mankad hit a brilliant 85-run knock along with Dharmendrasinh Jadeja (60). To plunge more misery on the Andhra side, Saurashtra’s bowling force scalped wickets at regular intervals as the KS Bharat-led side amassed 149/4 at the culmination of the final day.

Similarly, Bengal also progressed into the semi-final after putting up a formidable batting show against Odisha in both the innings. Bengal gathered 332 and 373 in their first and second innings respectively to put the pressure on Odisha from the first day itself.

After Odisha was bowled out for a modest total of 250/10 in their second innings, Bengal had already paved their way for a triumph as what followed was the Abhimanyu Easwaran posting a mammoth 373-run total in their second innings. Odisha could only gather 39 runs on the final day of the match as Bengal advanced to the semi-final because of taking the first-innings lead.
