Assam Premier League: Guwahati Royals chased down 147 against Tezpur Titans to secure an eight-wicket win in Match 15 of the Assam Premier League 2026 at the ACA Stadium, Guwahati on Saturday.
The win leads them to second place on the points table.
Half-centuries from Rohit Sen and Sanjay Kumar Singh set up the chase for Royals, with the duo stitching together a stellar opening stand to see their side home comfortably. Earlier, Mrinmoy Dutta was the pick of the bowlers, picking up three wickets to restrict Tezpur Titans after a blistering innings from Wasim Akram Haque.
Having won the toss and opting to bat, Tezpur Titans got off to a stuttering start, losing Mohammad Kaif and Roshan Topno inside the powerplay. Wasim then anchored the innings with a sublime knock, striking 82 off just 54 balls studded with three fours and seven sixes. With that knock, he recorded the second highest individual score in the tournament so far. He combined for an 82-run stand for the third wicket with Nihar Deka to put the innings back on track.
However, Titans lost their way in the closing stages after losing Haque, which triggered a collapse. Mrinmoy Dutta then struck twice in the space of three balls to remove Danish Ahmed and skipper Ayushman Malakar. Nipan Deka and Deepak Gohain also chipped in with a wicket apiece as the bowling side scalped their last five wickets for just 12 runs, restricting Titans to 146/8 after 20 overs.
