After being sent in to bat, the Warriors racked up 151 for nine on the board. Sikandar Raza’s 47-ball 67 with two fours and seven sixes guided the Warriors to a respectable score. The Tigers didn’t lose heart despite the regular fall of wickets, and got over the finish line.
The Kings XI, led by Sandeep Lamichhane, on the other hand, started on a decent note, beating the Lalitpur Patriots by seven wickets with 34 balls left. After fielding first, the Kings XI restricted the Patriots to 157 for eight. Jitendra Mukhiya went on to pick up four wickets.
The run-chase turned out to be a one-sided affair as the Kings XI chased down the target in 14.2 overs. Rahmanullah Gurbaz set the platform with a 36-ball 59 with four fours and as many sixes. Ryan Burl stayed unbeaten on a 34-ball 73 and powered his team to glory.
