Bhawani Tigers Innings:
Opting to bat first, Bhawani Tigers had a rocky start as Sultan Ansari was run out without scoring. Hitesh Kumar (10 off 15) and Vikas Singh (7 off 12) struggled to get going against disciplined bowling. Shivam Sharma came in with some intent but was dismissed for just 4. Prateek Raman and Sanjeev tried to stabilise the innings with scores of 10 and 13, respectively, but wickets kept falling at regular intervals.
The real fightback came from the lower order, where Zeeshan played a quick-fire unbeaten knock of 38 runs off 18 balls, including 3 fours and 3 sixes. He was well supported by Hitesh Sharma, who added a useful 15 off 9 deliveries. Despite the late surge, Bhawani Tigers managed only 123 runs in their 20 overs. For TNM, Tusya stood out with the ball, grabbing 3 wickets for just 12 runs in his 4 overs. Aman also bowled effectively, picking up 2 wickets, while Naman and Bobby chipped in with one each.
