That’s a wrap from our side as well. We appreciate your participation from all across the world. On behalf of my co-commentator Sourya Chowdhury and Scorer/Analyst Yogesh Kumar, I, Deepak Prakash, am signing off. Please join us for the other fixtures across the world. CHEERS!
Pavan Shah (Player of the Match): "It was a great wicket for batting and I am really enjoying it, and I hope I can continue my performance in the upcoming games. We are trying to enjoy the game, and not thinking about the result of the game."
Ruturaj Gaikwad (Puneri Bappa Captain): "Just I would say again brilliant bowling by the team. I think they carried the last game confidence, but still, we need improvements in some areas. My plan was to bat at number three but Yash hadn't the opportunity to bat, and it is important to settle down their nerves in such an atmosphere and such a nice crowd, they haven't played earlier. Special thanks to those who are coming from longer parts to support us."
Rajvardhan Hangargekar (Chhatrapati Sambhaji Kings Captain): "Absolutely bad day for us. We struggled in all departments but we did not put enough runs on the board and that really cost us. A good total on this pitch would have been around 170. We will definitely come back stronger in the next game."
11:22 PM IST | Deepak: A comprehensive victory for Puneri Bappa. Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side thumped Rajvardhan Hangargekar-led side by 7 wickets with 22 balls to spare.
Earlier, after being invited to bat first, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Kings posted 146 runs at the end of 20 overs. Om Bhosale played a crucial role, emerging as the top scorer with 46 runs off 33 deliveries. Notably, Hitesh Walunj's brief but impactful innings towards the end provided valuable runs and enabled the Kings to surpass the 145-run milestone.
Chasing the target of 146 set by Chhatrapati Sambhaji Kings, Puneri Bappa didn't have an ideal start as their impact player, Adharsh Botara, who was sent ahead of Gaikwad, was unable to make an impact and was dismissed for just one run. Surprisingly, skipper Gaikwad did not come out to bat at number three and instead promoted Yash Kshirsagar up the order. Kshirsagar and Pavan Shah formed a formidable partnership, scoring runs quickly. Their collaboration yielded 69 runs for the second wicket in a short span of time.
However, Kshirsagar departed after contributing 35 runs off only 18 balls. Pavan Shah continued his aggressive approach and went on to achieve a well-deserved half-century before eventually being dismissed on 54 runs. This brought skipper Gaikwad to the crease. Gaikwad (29) and Advay Shidhaye (23) remained unbeaten till the end, successfully guiding their team to victory.
From the bowling front, Rameshwar Daud, Hitesh Walunj, and Shamshuzama Kazi extracted a wicket each for the Kings. They leaked too many runs in the powerplay and failed to defend the total.
