Pacer Varun Aaron led side bundled out Haryana for 133 and chased down the paltry target in 29.4 overs, thanks to Ishank Jaggi (62 not out) and Kumar Deobrat (39 not out). It was Jharkhand's third win in four matches and they now lead the group with 12 points.

Brief scores: Haryana 133 all out in 33 overs (Rahul Dagar 38; Rahul Shukla 3/33, Varun Aaron 2/21). Jharkhand 134 in 29.4 overs (Ishank Jaggi 62 not out, Kumar Deobrat 39 not out).
