Gorkha 11: 101/8 after 10 overs. Wild Panthers win by 6 runs.
Wild Panthers' players are going wild on the field as they continue their winning ways. Unfortunately for Gorkha 11 their winning streak comes to an end. But we have been treated to an entertaining match. It looked like it would be an easy win for Wild Panthers but Gorkha 11 stretched the match all the way down to the last over. A shot here or a big shot there, and the result of this match could have been different. The openers of Gorkha 11 set the stage for the team. Suman Ghimire scored a steady 26 from 22 balls. Imran Khan blasted 25 from just 10 deliveries. But it was the middle-order of the chasing side that let the team down. The middle-order batters threw away their wickets cheaply. And in the end it was too much left to be chased down in the last couple of overs. Azher Andani was the pick of the bowlers for Wild Panthers as he bowled a match-winning spell of 3/14. Parth Patel was equally impressive in his spell of 2/21.
Earlier in the day, Wild Panthers posted a total of 107/6 in 10 overs. The batting side started slowly as they were just 15/0 after 4 overs. But the big-hitting started from the fifth over onwards. Azher Andani played a steady knock of 28 from 19 balls. The cameo of the innings came from the bat of Md Siraj Nipo who scored 20 from just 10 deliveries hitting one four and two sixes. Then lower down the batting order, Dhaval Patel and Dharm Patel scored 20 each. Dhaval scored his 20 from 9 balls while Dharm got his 20 runs in 12 balls. The all-around batting effort meant that Wild Panthers finished with a total of 107.
Gorkha 11's bowling was disappointing. There was a wicket each for Rahul Bharadwaj, Imran Khan, Rinku Singh, Madhukar Thapa, Arslan Naseem and Amandeep Ghumman. But none of the bowlers could apply pressure and stop the flow of the runs.
