Oh really sorry for the unforseen circumstances, guess it is called bacteria wilt.
You ought to have been spraying insecticide on observations and fungicide
That is a practical experience of farmers
My farm attendant also planted tomato and nothing came out of it as a result of this bacterial so sometimes we learn in hard way but advice get someone as a devoted mentor

you may need to treat your soil before planting. kindly google about mildew, some of your leaves look like bacteria wilt while others look like fungi infection(mildew).

@ OP; Are they drying up from bottom-up? I mean are those in the bottom drying up faster than the leaves from the top ?

Next time, mulch with black nylon. The heat from the nylon will sterilize the soli. Also, make sure you don't over irrigate. Dampness and flooding of the roots can cause it too.
