Musrul Ali’s steady 47 off 36 balls, followed by a late burst from Abhishek Sharma, who hammered 30 off only 10 deliveries, helped GNCC reach a dominant total.

Yuvraaj Chopra also played a crucial innings, scoring 52 off 44 balls, showing good fight in the chase. But apart from these two, the rest of the batting lineup struggled to handle GNCC’s disciplined bowling. Wickets kept falling regularly, and the chase slowly slipped away from RC’s control.
