SMAT Cricket Fun: Super League Gets Underway
Today was Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) Super League round. The day saw some exciting cricket, including a huge score, a great run chase, a low-scoring thriller with a hat-trick, and a steady win. Teams are now fighting hard for a spot in the final match.
1. Madhya Pradesh beat Andhra
Madhya Pradesh won by 4 wickets
Andhra batted first but only made 112 runs. It was a small total. Madhya Pradesh started chasing the runs well, but then an Andhra bowler, Nitish Kumar Reddy, took a hat-trick (three wickets in three balls)! This made the chase tough. Still, Madhya Pradesh fought hard and reached the low target with a few overs left.
2. Haryana beat Rajasthan
Haryana won by 7 wickets
Rajasthan batted first and scored 132 runs. Haryana's bowlers did a great job to keep the score low. When Haryana came out to bat, they played very well and scored the winning runs quickly, only losing three wickets. It was a comfortable win for Haryana.
3. Jharkhand beat Punjab
Jharkhand won by 6 wickets
This was a high-scoring game! Punjab batted first and set a massive target of 235 runs. Most teams would struggle with such a score, but Jharkhand's batsmen were amazing. They chased down the huge target in just over 18 overs, hitting lots of fours and sixes to get a fantastic win.
4. Hyderabad beat Mumbai
Hyderabad won by 10 wickets
Mumbai batted first but struggled and were all out for only 131 runs. Hyderabad’s openers came out with a plan to win fast. They batted strongly and easily chased down the target of 132 runs without losing any wickets. This was a very easy and big win for Hyderabad.
