Player of the Match, Balla gave away just 18 runs in his 6.2 overs and bowled three maiden overs. What’s more, Balla’s spell also included a brilliant hat-trick to further dent RV Nerkar’s innings.

Hardik Pandya impressed with the ball too coming up with exceptional bowling figures of 5/26 in 3.4 overs cleaning up the middle and lower middle order.
