Ashish srivastav

Though Nitin Sai Yadav: Skipper Tanmay Agarwal led from the front with a sensational 61-ball 137 before spinner Ashish Srivastav scalped a five-wicket haul as EIPL & Eleve Karimnagar Diamonds routed Ranga Reddy Risers by 75 runs to storm into the Qualifier 2 of the Hyderabad Cricket Association's TG20 in Hyderabad on Thursday.

By virtue of this victory, Karimnagar Diamonds will now face the losing team of Qualifier 1, to be played between Hyderabad E-Champions and Anvita Khammam Aces, in the do-or-die Qualifier 2 fixture scheduled for Friday.

Electing to bat first, Karimnagar Diamonds, riding on a batting masterclass from Tanmay and a fine half-century from Hrishikesh Simha (50), posted a mammoth 238/7 in their allotted 20 overs.
