The Sudurpaschim Royals registered a dramatic 29-run victory against the Kathmandu Gorkhas! The win was secured with time to spare, as the Gorkhas were bowled out completely while chasing a moderate total.
1. The Royals’ Amazing Comeback (Batting)
- The Royals were in deep trouble after losing quick wickets to Karan KC’s brilliant early bowling (4 wickets).
- They looked set for a score under 100.
- But then, Harmeet Singh saved the day! He hit an incredible, fast 53 runs off just 20 balls (with 6 sixes!).
- Harmeet’s late blitz helped the Royals reach a fighting total of 147 runs, but they used up all their wickets and were all out in the 20th over (meaning they used all their 120 balls).
2. The Gorkhas’ Shocking Loss (Chasing)
- Chasing 148, the Gorkhas started very well and were in control for the first half of the innings.
- However, after the tenth over, their batting lineup fell apart completely.
- Their middle-order players lost their wickets one after the other due to poor shots and great bowling from the Royals, including Harmeet Singh’s 2 crucial wickets.
- The collapse was so sudden and total that the Gorkhas were all out for only 118 runs.
- They lost their final wicket with 19 balls remaining in their innings (meaning they only lasted for 16.5 overs).
In Short: The Royals were all out right at the end of their innings, but the Gorkhas failed to even use up their full quota of balls, collapsing with 19 balls remaining to hand the Royals a shocking and decisive win!
