Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Super: Maramreddy Hemanth Reddy smashed a blistering unbeaten century to script Andhra’s first win of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Super League stage and eliminate Punjab from being in contention for the final.

At the MCA Cricket Stadium in Gahunje, Hemanth hammered 109 off 53 balls, his first T20I century and steered Andhra to a five-wicket victory by successfully hunting down 206 with a ball to spare. Put into batting first, Punjab assembled a strong total through collective contributions.

Opener Harnoor Singh’s 42 off 30 balls laid the foundation for the high score before Anmolpreet Singh (47 off 27 balls), Ramandeep Singh (43 off 18 balls) and Salil Arora (42 not out off 22 balls) injected momentum in the middle and death overs.
