ILM Academy’s brisk start ends in Barber King forfeit victory

ILM Academy raced to 44 without loss from just two overs, but their fast start could not carry the contest to its scheduled conclusion. The match ended when ILM Academy forfeited, handing Barber King the win before the chasing side had taken the field. KD led the charge with a remarkable 25 from seven balls, striking one four and two sixes. SHAMSUL added 19 from only five deliveries, including one four and one six, as ILM Academy reached 44-0 in the eight-over fixture. Barber King were listed as yet to bat when the game was stopped. Their bowlers, IRFAN and ASLAM, each completed one over, conceding 19 and 25 runs respectively without taking a wicket. With no innings recorded for Barber King, the match’s decisive moment came away from the middle rather than through a completed chase. IRFAN was named Player of the Match, despite finishing with 0 (0) and no wickets in the available scorecard. The result leaves the scoreline reflecting ILM Academy’s brief but explosive batting display, alongside Barber King’s victory through the forfeit.
