Nalgonda knights

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: A disciplined bowling effort led by Rakshann Readdi and Varun Goud, followed by Nitish Reddy’s composed 52, helped Anurag Nalgonda Knights register their first win of the Hyderabad Cricket Association’s TG20 Season 1 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Wednesday.

In what was the second match of the day -- one that was interrupted by rain -- the Knights comfortably chased down a revised target of 117 in 17 overs to defeat EIPL & elevé Karimnagar Diamonds by six wickets.

After a cautious start, Diamonds skipper Tanmay Agarwal shifted gears in the third over, taking 15 runs off Nishanth Saranu to inject momentum into the innings. His aggressive intent set an early tone as the Diamonds began to put pressure on the Nalgonda Knights.
