No moonrise falls inside this Chaturthi, so it is taken on the day whose sunrise falls inside it; the fast is broken after that night's moonrise.

No moonrise falls inside this Krishna Chaturthi — it runs only 20.7 hours, less than the interval between two moonrises — so the fast is kept on the day whose sunrise falls inside it and broken at that night's moonrise, which falls after the tithi has ended.
