Dynamic Delhi secures convincing 7-wicket win, chasing 148 with 16 balls to spare. Earlier, after opting to bat first, Kolkata Superstars got off to a wobbly start as they lost both their openers – Sunny Karla (18) and Anuj Nagar (0) – inside three overs. Afzal Hussain (26), Rachit Sehrawat (37), and Nitin Saini (25) accelerated the scoring and provided the momentum in the middle overs. However, the Superstars failed to capitalize in the final phase of the innings and were restricted to 148/8 in 10 overs. Navdeep Kundu shone with the ball for Delhi, claiming three wickets. Sunny Nagar chipped in with a couple of wickets, while Harsh Singh, Arshad, and Manvendra Singh Chauhan picked up one wicket each.
In pursuit of 148 runs, Dynamic Delhi lost Sunny Nagar (10) cheaply, but Mohd. Irfan and Manvendra Singh Chauhan went berserk from the outset. The pair smashed sixes at will and took the game far from Kolkata Superstars. Irfan departed for 33 runs off 9 balls, but Manvendra remained unbeaten on 79 runs off 20 balls and sealed the deal for his side with 16 balls to spare. Nikhil Badeja, Rachit Sehrawat, and Ankul Yadav grabbed one wicket each for the Superstars.
Rajasthan Rangers Struggles Continue as Lucknow Lions Dominate with 70-Run Victory
Another day, another heartbreaking defeat for the Rajasthan Rangers, as they sink to their sixth consecutive loss of the tournament. The Lucknow Lions were simply dominant, securing a commanding 70-run victory to keep their campaign alive in style! After Ubaid Khan’s record-breaking 151 powered Lucknow Lions to a massive 231/3, the Rajasthan Rangers struggled to gain momentum in the chase. The required run rate soared, and with wickets falling regularly, the pressure became overwhelming.
The Rangers failed to match the same firepower, managing only 23 sixes compared to 35 in the first innings. Yahya Ibrahim (40 off 15), Zayn Saifi (37* off 16), and Karanjeet Shah (35 off 10) fought hard, but none could deliver the match-winning knock for their team. Ashish Kumar Meena (2/30) and Bobby Yadav (2/30) were outstanding, maintaining control with accurate bowling and plenty of dot balls. The Lions restricted the Rangers to 161/7. In the end, the Nazim Ahmed-led Lucknow Lions were simply too strong, sealing a comfortable 70-run win! Six straight losses for the Rangers!
