In reply, openers Prabir Sutradhar (33) and Dibakar Chhetri (24) put up a 62-run stand at the top to give the Thunders a fabulous start. However, they lost regular wickets soon after and were on the brink of defeat at 102/9. Dipakar Mahata claimed five wickets for the Firebolts. Nonetheless, the Thunders eventually scampered home with a wicket to spare off the very last delivery.
