A disciplined bowling effort by the Siang Sharks bowled out the Tawang Tigers for a hapless first innings total of 115 in 19.1 overs in the first game of the day. Tigers opener Ngurang Tana (38 of 24) gave his team a blazing start. However, it was in vain as Siang bowlers Sonu Singh (3/18) and Ankur Rai (2/23) pounced upon the Tawang batting lineup.

In reply, the Siang Sharks chased the required target with ease, riding on a 43-ball 96* by Kaushal Singh. His brilliant knock helped his side win the match by eight wickets and a total of 10 overs to spare. Singh’s innings were laced with 12 boundaries and half a dozen maximums, batting at a strike rate of 223.26.

In the second match of the day between Dirang Dragons and Kameng Strikers, the former side elected to bat first, racing to 63/2 in just 5.2 overs. However, persistent rain showers resulted in the fourth fixture of the tournament being called off, with the Dragons and Strikers sharing one point each.
