Rohan Kunnummal (5) got out early for Kerala while Mohammad Azharuddin (20 off 14 balls) came back with a good performance. Vishnu Vinod and Salman Nisar’s partnership of 48 runs for the third wicket gave Kerala the upper hand. Vishnu scored 44 runs off 27 balls and was in terrific form. But Salman’s slow pace, which took 25 balls to score 23 runs, backfired for Kerala. During this setback, Kerala was on the back foot with captain Sanju Samson returning with only one run and Abdul Basit returning with 3 runs. Finally, Sachin, who came as an impact player, brought Kerala to a good score with the help of baby tail. While Sachin remained unbeaten on 30 runs off 20 balls, Shreyas Gopal (12 off 9 balls) and Sijomon Joseph (11 off 8 balls), who came to Kerala this season from Karnataka, supported Sachin.
