Sagar’s Strike-Rate Surge Powers Aftab Past Raunak

Aftab produced a commanding chase to overcome Raunak in a seven-over contest, reaching 54-1 in 5.4 overs after Raunak posted 53-4 from their allotted seven overs. Sagar set the tone for Aftab with a brisk 36 from 21 balls, striking two fours and two sixes. His aggressive innings ensured the chase stayed ahead of the required rate and provided the platform for a comfortable finish. Fahad added a valuable 17 from 12 deliveries, including one four, while also making a key contribution with the ball. Named Player of the Match, he claimed one wicket for 15 runs in two overs. AFTAB and Amrit also took a wicket apiece, with AFTAB returning one for 14 from his over and Amrit conceding 15 in two overs. Raunak’s total was built around Afsar, who top-scored with a lively 33 from 17 balls. His two fours and two sixes gave Raunak momentum, but the middle and closing overs did not yield enough runs to set a more demanding target. Aftab’s disciplined bowling and Sagar’s clean striking combined to make the difference, as the chase was completed with eight deliveries remaining and only one wicket down.
