Vinod Singh (26 off 29) and Ankit Jain (31 off 49) also tried to stick in the middle and their little but vital contributions certainly came in handy. Lower order batter, Ajeet Yadav’s 23 off 16 was also an important one. Eventually, they reached to a score of 240 losing 8 wickets in 38 overs. For OG, SohamRane picked up 3 for 63 in 7 overs and Vicky singh was the most economical with a figure of 2 for 32 in 7 overs.

Karan scored 49 off 36 and Omkar G scored 29 runs off 31, their efforts were sterling but were in vain. Eventually, they were bowled out for 185 runs in 24.3 overs.

Niraj Bajaj played a fearless knock of 40* in mere 30 deliveries (5 fours. 1 six) as he was in no mood to take the game till the fag end.
