Prabhsimran scored 61% of his team’s runs and recorded his first century! His effort raised the team’s total runs to 167. When DC batted in the second inning and went strong on the powerplay, scoring 65 runs with no errors, it was their game to win! The issue started when Harpreet Brar grabbed his first wicket in the seventh over, and the spinners then claimed four wickets in the next three overs! They took advantage of the momentum shifting in their favour to limit the opponents to 134 runs. The player with the ball was Harpreet Brar, who claimed 4 wickets!
Player of the Game is Prabhsimran Singh
Prabhsimran Singh said ” The idea was to extend the game after we lost a few wickets. I’ve been on the squad for a long time, and you have to seize opportunities when they come your way. The objective was to develop some partnerships by concentrating on a few bowlers because the wicket was initially a little difficult. I’m quite appreciative to management for the opportunities“
