Avengers and Lions prevail in thrillers

After being 17/3 at one stage, they were propelled by Nikhil Patil (36) and Saksham Jha (39*). They reached a competitive total and eventually managed to defend it successfully.

It was a collective effort from them with the ball as six of their bowlers picked up at least a wicket each. For the Titans, Bins Neyyoth slammed a brilliant half-century while Hrishikesh Gore remained unbeaten on 42. However, their knocks went in vain as the Titans could only reach 145 runs in their 20 overs losing the match by four runs.

In response, the Scorpions too fought well with their wicketkeeper batter Siddhant Aadhhathrao smashing 54 runs but the middle and lower-middle order collapsed under pressure. From being well placed at 115/2 after 15 overs, they could only make 154 runs thereby losing the match by nine runs.
