A superb knock of 130 by southpaw Kiran Powar and four wickets by left-arm spinner Arun Shetty enabled last year's runner-up Karnatak Sporting Association to beat Kandivli by 116 runs to enter the quarter-final stage.

An unbeaten century by Jitendra Shende (101) and his 130-run partnership with Suhas Mayekar (63), saw Shivaji Park Youngsters coast to a seven-wicket victory over hosts MIG Cricket Club, Bandra.

The other centurion of the day was left-hander Jatin Paranjpe (102) of Dadar Union who defeated P J Hindu Gymkhana by six runs.
