Having already won the BCCI men\u2019s Under-23 State-A (One-Day) Trophy, it is now eyeing a double this season &#8211; a feat Punjab achieved last season.<\/p>\n<p>A 92-run seventh-wicket stand between Kiran Karthikeyan (66 n.o., 176b, 6&#215;4) and left-hander Manav Parakh (47) helped Tamil Nadu overhaul Maharashtra\u2019s 238. Kiran crafted an adhesive, attritional knock. A fleeting flourish came when he charged Abhishek Nishad and drove the left-arm spinner inside-out through cover for a four. A sublime cover drive off pacer Ajay Borude brought up his fifty. Manav relied on steady accumulation through singles (16), doubles (6), and a three, besides delicately late-cutting off-spinner Kiran Chormale for a four.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, skipper Boopathi Vaishna Kumar (44) and nightwatcher G. Govinth (31) added 55 for the fourth wicket. Left-hander Boopathi drove the scoring, while Govinth held fort at the other end. The southpaw was particularly impressive off the backfoot, notably pulling Chormale for a six to deep midwicket.<\/p>\n<p>Chormale was the pick of the Maharashtra bowlers with three for 60.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fact-box\">\n<h5 class=\"main-title\">\nThe scores (final, day two):<br \/>\n<\/h5>\n<p>\nMaharashtra 238 vs. Tamil Nadu 309\/8 in 108 overs (S.R.
