Tirumalasetti Suman's blistering 93 off just 61 balls and Pragyan Ojha's four-wicket haul set up Hyderabad's 82-run win over Andhra in the South Zone leg of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Twenty20 Trophy here today.
Put into bat, Suman and Danny Dereck Prince smashed 45 runs in 5.1 overs before the latter was bowled by seamer Bandaru Ayyappa, who went on to take two more wickets.
Suman then added 88 runs in 8.2 overs for the third wicket with Tanmay Agarwal (30). Suman, who was dismissed in the 19th over, slammed 11 fours and five sixes.
Andhra began poorly in their reply, as M Ravikiran sent back Prasanth Kumar (5) and captain Mohammad Kaif (0) off consecutive deliveries. Only three batsmen reached double figures, as Ojha ran through the middle order.
Meanwhile, cameos from Mayank Agarwal (36), Karun Nair (30) and Shreyas Gopal (23 not out) helped Karnataka complete a four-wicket win over Goa here.
Set 114 to win, Karnataka lost R Samarth (0) and captain Manish Pandey (3) early before Agarwal and Nair took their team home with two overs to spare.
In another match, Tamil Nadu edged Kerala by two wickets with four balls to spare after overcoming a shaky start.
