For the first time in the history of this tournament, a team has won by 10 wickets! Nitin Kumar S and Virendra Chauhan were relentless on the bowling and made the Titans' score look feeble!
Whether against pace or spin, whether off the front foot or back, the batting was just spectacular! Shots through and across the line were filled with authority. There were a few edges that went for fours but in a game like this, fortune favours the brave!
With this win, Patriots now pick up their third win of the competition and stay well and truly alive in the race to make the next round. But, this loss will hurt Titans badly! They will stay on 10 points.
7.5 Yogesh Kaushik to Nitin Kumar S, SIX RUNS! PATRIOTS WIN BY 10 WICKETS! Good length ball on off-stump. Nitin stays back and swivels to pull it over deep square-leg and pick up the winning runs! With that, he stays unbeaten on 50!
