Though Odisha forced Karnataka to bat for the second time, their efforts to at least draw the match proved in vain as the visitors clinched victory by chasing down a target of 143, losing only one wicket. With this emphatic win, Karnataka secured 13 points, while Odisha settled with four points.

This was the second defeat for Odisha, who earlier lost to Mahararashtra by an innings and 109 runs last month at Vikash Ground in Bargarh. Odisha now occupy the fifth position in the Group-A table with 32 points from four games. They will next meet Tripura at Sundargarh Stadium in Sundargarh from November 15 to 18.
