Legend 90 League: Gurkeerat Mann Powers Chhattisgarh Warriors To Thrilling Win Over Delhi Royals
Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International: The Legend 90 League got off to a thrilling start as home side Chhattisgarh Warriors edged past Delhi Royals in a dramatic five-wicket victory in the final over here at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium.
Delhi Royals posted 172/7 in the allotted 15 overs but Chhattisgarh Warriors chased down the target with two balls to spare. Gurkeerat Singh Mann led Chhattisgarh Warriors in Suresh Raina's absence and elected to bowl first. Delhi Royals had a disastrous start as Abhimanyu Mithun cleaned up Sharad Lumba on the very first ball of the match.
Delhi skipper Shikhar Dhawan fell early to Siddharth Kaul but the Sri Lankan duo of Danushka Gunathilaka and Angelo Perera turned things around with a blistering 61-run stand off just 28 balls. A mix-up led to Perera's run-out, but Gunathilaka took charge, smashing a 73-run knock off just 33 balls with nine fours and four sixes.
