Earlier, Reddy added 50 for the third wicket with KS Bharat after Andhra were themselves 7 for 2, having lost the toss. Right-arm seamer Tripuresh Singh had struck in the first over for MP, removing both Ashwin Hebbar and Shaik Rasheed for ducks. Iyer broke the stand between Reddy and Bharat when he had the latter caught and bowled for 39, and that started a collapse. Andhra lost 8 for 55 to be bowled out for 112 as Shivam Shukla bagged 4 for 23 – that included the wicket of Reddy for 23 – and Tripuresh got 3 for 31.
