Post-Match Summary: A good game of cricket comes to an end. Uttarandhra Lions won the toss and decided to bat first. They get off to a good start in the initial few overs of the powerplay. Both their openers played significant knocks tonight. Kranthi Kumar scored 32 runs from 34 deliveries, on the other hand, their skipper Srikar Bharat scored a brilliant 52 off just 35 deliveries. But no other batter other than these two looked in a great touch today. Their middle order struggled a lot against the spinners. Sirla Srinivas bowled a great spell today, as he got 3 big wickets into his name.
After this team, Coastal riders came on for a chase. They also felt some trouble earlier in their innings due to the low bounce on this surface. But in the end, team Coastal Riders made this chase look quite easy as they managed to chase this target down in just 15 overs. Both their middle-order batters Reddy and Tapaswi played a pivotal role in this chase. Both of them scored 32 and 43 runs respectively.
And with this Coastal Riders finally get a victory in this season's APL. They won this match by 6 wickets. and they will hope to continue their winning momentum from now onwards.
