Vignesh was the most successful for Tamil Nadu, returning impressive figures of 5/23, while Crist, also a medium pace bowler, picked up 4/39 after Baroda were sent into bat on day one of the match at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium.

By the end of day's play, Tamil Nadu progressed to 79 for 1 in 31 overs, trailing by only 14 runs with nine wickets remaining. Mukund was batting on 40, while Baba Indrajith was unbeaten on 18, after the departure of opener Kaushik Gandhi for 11. Opener Mukund found the fence six times during his 93-ball knock.

Earlier, only three Baroda batsmen could reach the double digits in a horrendous batting display, with opener Kedar Devdhar's 26 being the top score. Baroda were 36/1 and then 71/2, when the dismissal of Dhiren Mistry (23) by Vignesh triggered a slide from which they could never recover.
