Match Details
Batting first, the Kashi Rudras were never able to get going. They limped their way to a total of 111, a target that never really looked like it would trouble the Falcons. But still, cricket is a funny game and you never know!
Now, as the Falcons took to the crease, they started strong, and it was none other than Parth Palawat who got things rolling with a brisk 20 off 15 balls, setting the tone for the innings. But the real star of the show was Samarth Singh rock-solid in the middle, steering the ship with a classy 55* off 47. He was absolutely unflappable, playing with a composure that belied the pressure of a chase. And let’s not forget Vipraj Nigam, the man who kept up the momentum, smashing 26* off 21 like he was playing on a different pitch altogether!
The Rudras bowlers? Well, they were taken to the cleaners! The only one to taste success was Sunil Kumar, picking up a solitary wicket. But one wicket was never going to be enough! The Falcons’ batters toyed with the bowlers, sending the ball all around the park, making the chase look like a walk in the park.
If only, if only the Kashi Rudras had 60 or 70 more runs to defend, we might be talking about a thriller! But today, it’s all about the Falcons. A comprehensive victory, a statement win by 9 wickets! The Lucknow Falcons take a bow!
