Legend 90 League: Ross Taylor, Bipul Sharma Star As Delhi Royals Stay In Final Race
Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International: Delhi Royals kept their title hopes alive with a commanding 43-run victory over Gujarat Samp Army in the Eliminator match of the Legend 90 League at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium here on Saturday. The Royals delivered an all-round performance, led by Ross Taylor, skipper Bipul Sharma, and Jerome Taylor, to book their spot in Qualifier 2, while Gujarat Samp Army bowed out of the tournament.
Batting first, the Royals found themselves in deep trouble after a disastrous start. Their top order collapsed, with Lendl Simmons, Sharad Lumba, and Danushka Gunathilaka all falling cheaply. At 14/3, the innings looked in jeopardy. However, experienced Kiwi batter Ross Taylor came to the rescue, steadying the innings with a crucial 40 off just 21 deliveries. His aggressive stroke play helped the Royals regain momentum.
Later, captain Bipul Sharma played a match-defining knock, smashing an unbeaten 44 off 17 balls. His quickfire innings, along with Anureet Singh’s handy 16 not out off 9 balls, powered Delhi Royals to a competitive total of 160/6 in their allotted 90 balls.
