The recently held finale of the WFOs 2nd Cricket Premier League on 31st July 2022 ,was nothing short of spectacle. The finalists, Himalayan Strikers and Delhi Raptors gave it all but unfortunately the latter didn’t stand a chance. The toss was won by Delhi Raptors and asked the Strikers to bat first. In hindsight, this move was costly.

The Himalayan Strikers had an early scare as opener Kunal was out for nil. It was the crucial partnership of opener Dev who scored 78 off 42 and Ashraf scoring 72 off 39 which put the Strikers in a commanding position. Cruising till the 14th over, the Himalayans had 157 on board. Raptor’s Vivek Gaur had other plans and bagged 3 quick wickets in a succession of only 3 overs.

The overall scoring halted and the Himalayans were struggling at 169 for 6 after an early domination. The final crucial partnership of Vipin Rawat (28 of 16) and Pankaj Dhiman (16 off 14) gave the required finishing touch pushing their total at 219 at the end of the first innings.

It was the Raptor’s turn to bat. They got off to a quiet start as opener Vibhu Vaibhav Gaur managed only 22 off 26 and 1 down batsman Jayant Sati scoring 30 off 31. The real game began after the entrance of Amit Dabas on the field who scored a blistering 72 off 35. The hopes rose but unfortunately 219 was out of reach and the Delhi Raptor’s ended up scoring only 177 for the loss of 4 wickets.

The bowling performance was decent with Nitish, Parkash, Kunal and Harish picking one wicket each.

It was batting force which helped the Himalayan Strikers clinch the title.

A league match of the T20 Champions League was played between Finishers and Royal Mavericks Cricket Club. The game was played at the Haryana Cricket Academy, New Delhi on 9th July 2022. Finishers won the toss and opted to bat first.

Finshers’ innings was all about one man. Opener Ishal Sharma played a scintillating knock which single-handedly propelled them to a respectable total. He scored a brilliant 90 off just 56 balls. He smashed 5 fours and 4 sixes in his innings. Wickets kept falling regularly and nobody could forge a partnership with Ishal. Deepak (13) and Vishal (13) were the only other batters to cross the double-figure mark. Riding on Ishal’s superb knock, finishers were able to post 151-10 on the board.

The Royal Mavericks bowled brilliantly. Opening bowler Sajan Choudhary returned with fantastic figures of 3-24 in his four overs. He was ably supported by Avinash Yadav who also took 3-24 in his three overs. Sehrawat and Abhinav also bowled economical spells.

Royal Mavericks needed 152 runs to win. Sunil Rawat and Siddharth Bathla (21) put them in a commanding position with a second-wicket partnership of 91 off just 69 balls. Sunil Rawat played superbly for his 65 runs off just 47 balls. At 100-2, the Royal Mavericks needed just 52 runs from 45 balls, and it seemed like a cakewalk for them. However, the finishers were not finished yet. They kept chipping with wickets and ensured the match was headed for a nail-biting finish. Ishan bowled brilliantly and finished with the figures of 2-28 from his four overs. Batting hero Ishal Sharma also contributed with the ball by scalping two wickets for just 29 runs. Manjeet Singh (15) and Kulvinder Goraya (19) carried the chase forward for the Royal Mavericks. Finally, the match came down to the last over.

Royal Mavericks needed just 6 runs in the last over with 4 wickets in their hand. Clearly, they were the favourites to win this match. However, Pradeep Sharma held his nerve and bowled a fantastic final over. Royal Mavericks needed 3 runs off the last ball and Rajesh Rajput was run out while taking the second run. The finishers won this thriller of a contest by just one run. No doubt Ishal Sharma was selected as the man of the match for his all-round show.

A league match of the Summer Slam Premier League T-20 was played between the Topguns and JMA on 9th July 2022. The venue for the game was Krickshetra Sports Ground, Noida. JMA won the toss and elected to bat first.

JMA had a relatively sedate start in the powerplay, they scored 41 runs for the loss of two wickets. Opener Nitin Chikara contributed 29 runs to the team before the aggressive partnership between Akshay Tandon (47) and Ashish (33). The duo added 57 quick-fire runs in just under six overs. Southpaw Akshay Tandon stole the show with a fine inning of 47 off just 27 balls. Anand Verma provided the finishing touch with a handy cameo of 35 runs at the back end of the innings which helped JMA to cross the 160-run mark.

Opening bowler Sahil Bhatia was the pick of the bowlers for topguns. He bowled brilliantly and returned with the figures of 3-24 in his four overs. Shashank Bharti (2-44) was expensive, but he scalped two important wickets. Arpit Mehrotra was economical too. Finally, JMA finished their innings at 168-7 at the end of twenty overs.

In reply, the topguns had a slow and steady start to their innings. Sushant (30) and Shobhit (30) tried to stabilize the innings, but they couldn’t capitalize on their starts. The top 3 batsmen of the topguns failed to accelerate the innings. As a result, the asking rate started creeping up. They required 79 runs in the last six overs. Arpit Mehrotra and Amit (19) batted aggressively and tried their best to pull off a fantastic win for their team. Arpit played brilliantly for his knock of 39 off just 24 balls. However, none of the topguns batsmen was able to make a substantial contribution to the total.

JMA displayed a solid and collective bowling effort. Barring one, all bowlers entered into the wickets column of the scorecard. Anand Verma, Mohit Sharma, and Harendra Chaudhary had imposing and economical bowling figures. Harendra Chaudhary was the pick of the bowlers as he took 2 wickets for just 29 runs in his quota of four overs.

JMA stopped the topguns charge at 148-7 at the end of twenty overs. In the end, JMA won the match comfortably by 20 runs. Akshay Tandon was adjudged as the man of the match for his superb performance.
