Match Details
The Coastal Riders, though putting up a decent fight, had a somewhat average day on the field. Their skipper Shaik Rasheed led from the front with a fiery 67 runs off just 48 balls, setting the tone for his team. Dharani Kumar contributed with 21 runs, and Abhishek Reddy made 28 runs from 16 balls, anchoring the innings. Despite these efforts, the Coastal Riders couldn't fully capitalize on their start, ending with a total of 165.
As the Vizag Warriors stepped in to chase the target, the atmosphere was electric. Ashwin Hebbar set the foundation with a steady 31 off 24 balls. But it was Captain Srikar Bharat's extraordinary partnership with Karan Shinde that truly turned the game around. Bharat made 69 runs off 46 balls, steering their team closer to the target. Karan Shinde's composed 41 off 38 balls was a masterclass in controlled aggression.
The Coastal Riders' bowling attack lacked the punch needed to contain the Warriors. Cheepurapalli Stephen took 3 and Siraparapu Ashish managed to take one wicket, but overall, the bowlers fell short in intent and execution. The Coastal Riders' bowling came to life in the last three overs. The Coastal Riders capitalized on this, cruising to a well-deserved victory. They won by 3 runs.
What a beautiful match this has been! The Coastal Riders displayed exceptional skill and determination, making this a night to remember. Congratulations to them on their splendid win.
