01

Tamil Nadu complete a four-wicket chase

Maharashtra’s total gave Tamil Nadu a target of 258. Tamil Nadu passed it at 261/6, completing a four-wicket win and securing a place in the Elite semi-finals. The result was recorded as a completed quarter-final by the BCCI match centre. [1]

The scoreline sets out the match’s central outcome: Maharashtra used its 50 overs to make 257/7, and Tamil Nadu reached the required total in 42 overs. The win moves Tamil Nadu into the last four of the Elite competition.

02

Raghav KV leads with 121

BCCI names Raghav KV Player of the Match after his score of 121. His award is the principal individual highlight of Tamil Nadu’s quarter-final result and gives the team’s successful chase a clear performance lead. [1]

Tamil Nadu had earlier reached the quarter-final after a nine-wicket pre-quarter-final win over Kerala, according to the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association. That earlier result provides route-to-the-knockouts context; the Maharashtra win is the result that sends the side into the semi-finals. [2]

03

Semi-final listed for 25 October

BCCI lists Tamil Nadu Under-19s versus TBC in an Elite semi-final on Sunday, 25 October 2026, at Neena Vinod Agarwal Sports Academy, Indore. The scheduled start is 9:00 am IST. The opponent remains TBC on the official listing. [3]

The fixture confirms Tamil Nadu’s next knockout match while leaving the other side to be confirmed. Readers should check the official match listing for any later opponent update.

Punjab also secured an Elite semi-final place on the same day through Punjab’s separate six-wicket win over Chandigarh.

04

Elite route is separate from Plate competition

Tamil Nadu’s result belongs to the Elite knockout route, not the Plate competition. Tripura’s separate Plate-final victory was a different Vinoo Mankad Trophy outcome and is not part of this quarter-final bracket.

For broader context, Vedik Exchange’s guide to domestic formats and age-group cricket explains the distinction between Under-19 competitions and senior domestic formats. Tamil Nadu’s confirmed result remains the four-wicket win over Maharashtra, with Raghav KV named Player of the Match for 121.
