Chasing a target of 101 in 20 overs, the BCCA also got off on a decent start with openers Iqbal and Zayed, however, due to consistent fast bowling by Adil and Shirzad and excellent spin spell by Abdul and Raman kept the BCCA runrate under check. A couple of misfields and dropped catches also delayed the win for SCCG. The overall team effort and mentality pushed the SCCG further towards the win. Eventually, in the final over, Sukhdev did an excellent job of defending 10 runs, and the SCCG managed to win by a close margin.
