Race to the
Super 7

Titans chose to bat, and Brown Munde immediately made the morning feel like a meeting nobody had prepared for. Prashant Sinha struck in the first over for 1/3, Vinod Yadav followed with 1/6, and Prashant returned in the third to take another wicket. By the fourth, Hemant Joshi had joined the squeeze with 1/2, leaving Titans four down and only 15 on the board. It was less “innings underway” and more “please remain calm” 😬

Harish Jain briefly changed the mood at over 5, launching a four and a six on his way to 17 off 13 before Prashant caught him in the eighth. Shiva Perumalsamy then supplied the counterpunch: 13 off 12 before the club rule called time, including a six that made over 10 cost 14. The middle overs threatened to become a proper rescue, but Sagar Mehla and Lukesh Singla kept the lid on, while Hemant returned in the eleventh for 1/1 and Sagar’s thirteenth-over wicket helped make overs 13–15 a miserly eight-run squeeze. 🧯

Titans finally found daylight late: UV Yadav made 13 off 14, and the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth overs produced the sort of late fireworks that make fielders suddenly discover the horizon. Shiva came back to finish the job and added 29 off 28, taking his innings total to 42 off 40, but the recovery stopped at 122/11. Prashant finished with 3/18, Vinod with 3/18 and Hemant with 2/13—the bowling trio had done the hard, unfashionable work before the fireworks arrived. 🎆

Brown Munde’s reply began with Prithvi Aare’s 17 off 12, three fours before the 12-ball rule gave him a breather, and Prashant Sridharan began tidying the chase from over 2. UV Yadav struck in the third, but Sagar Mehla answered in spectacular fashion: the fourth went for 16, the sixth for 13, and by over 6 he had made 30 off 12. Manish Landge kept the chase moving before Harish Jain removed him in the ninth, then Harish struck again in his return spell as the middle overs turned into a small, determined traffic jam. 🚦

From overs 10–12, just eight runs arrived, and Brown Munde suddenly needed patience more than swagger. Ravi Chandra broke through in the thirteenth, Prashant Sridharan’s return spell brought 1/14, and UV Yadav finished with 2/20 as wickets kept the finish interesting. Lukesh Singla made 18 off 7 by the end of over 16, including two fours and a six, while Sagar added four unbeaten runs. Sixteen from over 16 carried Brown Munde to 124/5 in 16 overs, five wickets in hand—and earned Sagar Mehla Man of the Match for 34 off 18 plus 1/16. A chase, a squeeze, a heist, and just enough chaos for a Saturday morning. 🎉🏏
