In a thrilling morning fixture, SS Nalanda put on a sharp and efficient performance to overpower Tridha Scorchers by 6 wickets, chasing down a modest total of 124 in just 13.3 overs. With excellent bowling spells up front and a blistering knock from Himanshu Rana, the match proved to be a quick affair with plenty of action.
Tridha Scorchers struggled to put together meaningful partnerships. Opener Honey Yadav looked solid early on, scoring 28 off 23 balls with 3 fours and a six before being stumped off Sahil Dhull.
However, things quickly derailed as Aditya (5 off 10) and Ghanshyam (0 off 2) fell cheaply to Himanshu Rana, who delivered a sharp opening spell. The innings further stumbled with Shivansh (15 off 14) and Kavya Teotia (17 off 15) showing promise but falling at crucial moments.
Lower middle-order contributions from Chetan (23 off 16), including a six and two fours and Ayush Chaudhary (8 off 3)* gave the total a slight boost, but wickets kept tumbling too frequently for any real acceleration. The team was bowled out for 123 in 18.1 overs, leaving plenty to be desired.
SS Nalanda came out firing, with Himanshu Rana setting the tone early. He blazed through the powerplay with an electrifying 36 off 15 balls, cracking 8 boundaries at an astonishing strike rate of 240.0 before falling to Chetan.
While Mankuu (5 off 4) and Avneesh Sudha (5 off 10) didn’t stick around for long, Lakhan Singh stepped up with a fluid 32 off 22 balls, hitting 5 crisp fours and keeping the chase on track. The real finisher, however, was Jasmeet Nain, who hammered 24 off just 10 balls, including 2 fours and 2 sixes, sealing the win with aggression and flair.
They wrapped up the chase in just 13.3 overs, finishing at 124/4 with 6 wickets to spare and a remarkable run rate of 9.2.
