Spinners Zeeshan Ansari: Fast bowler Kartik Tyagi bowled a blistering spell of express pace to help Meerut Mavericks defend a low total and secure a 23-run victory via the DLS method over Noida Kings in a rain-truncated UPT20 League match here on Friday.

After being bundled out for a modest 116 in 19.3 overs, Meerut reduced Noida Kings to 51/6 in 10.2 overs before persistent rain halted play. With the DLS par score being 74, Noida fell short by 23 runs when the match was eventually called off.

Opting to bat first, Meerut Mavericks suffered a top-order collapse, slumping to 35/5 inside seven overs after pacer Kunal Tyagi struck twice in the opening over to remove Swastik Chikara and Rituraj Sharma.

Wickets continued to fall at regular intervals, including skipper Rinku Singh, before wicketkeeper-batter Akshay Dubey waged a lonely battle with a gritty 43 off 41 balls to take Meerut past the 100-run mark. Tyagi finished as the stand-out bowler for Noida Kings, returning impressive figures of 4-16, while Prashant Veer chipped in with 3-17.

Defending 116, Tyagi ripped through the Noida top-order with sheer pace, consistently clocking above 145 kph. In his second over, the pacer castled Shaurya Singh before trapping Aditya Sharma leg-before on consecutive deliveries, clocking speeds up to 149 kph.

He returned in his next over to remove Noida skipper Madhav Kaushik. Spinners Zeeshan Ansari and Yash Garg maintained the pressure in the middle overs before heavy rain intervened.
