Genid Yanam Royals vs Ossudu Accord Warriors—a clash that delivered everything short of popcorn vendors on the pitch. GYR posted a mighty 198/2 in 20 overs, but it wasn’t a cruise to victory. The Warriors, led by a blazing start, clawed back and took it down to the final ball before falling 6 runs short at 192/9.
This wasn’t just a cricket match—it was a full-blown action thriller where every over packed a twist, and the final three overs felt longer than a Netflix binge.
The GYR Batting Blitz – Setting the Scoreboard on Fire
The Royals began like they had a plane to catch. Their top order, powered by aggressive strokeplay, put up a nearly flawless batting display. With only two wickets lost, they punished the bowlers with elegant boundaries and calculated risks.
The standout? None other than Parameeswaran Sivaraman, who played the innings of the day and was rightly awarded Player of the Match. His composure and clean hitting ensured GYR crossed the psychologically massive 190-run mark—just enough, as it turned out.
OAW’s Chase – Sizzling Start, Fizzling End
Ossudu Accord Warriors didn’t take the target lightly. Ganga Sridhar Raju and Shailesh Vaithianathan built a strong platform, scoring freely and pushing the required run rate below 9 at one point. Raju’s 67 off 34 was a gem of an innings, sprinkled with authoritative boundaries.
But cricket loves chaos. A mid-innings collapse orchestrated by Pradeep Jakhar (4-0-28-3) turned the match on its head. Despite Nitin Pranaav’s late flourish (27 off 13), and a few big hits from Tripathi and Parandaman, death-over nerves and poor running cost them dearly.
Pranay Singh’s Final Over – Calm in the Storm
With 10 needed off the last over and wickets tumbling like dominos, Pranay Singh stepped up with icy composure. He bowled four dot/low-scoring deliveries, picked up a crucial wicket, and forced a run-out, closing the door on OAW’s late heist attempt.
If cricket had an MVP for cool nerves, Singh would be holding that trophy too.
