Bowling Masterclass

Mitul Bathia, maintaining his reputation for economy, supported well with 8-1-20-0.

Impeccable Fielding
The fielding was equally top-notch, with excellent catches from Iliyan, Mitul, BaBa Bunty Tejvir, Itmadin, and Nabeel, ensuring that Windsor never got the momentum to build a significant score.

Chasing with Purpose
Phoenix’s chase began on a strong note with Muhammad Chohan and Gurpreet Singh Chandi providing a solid foundation, putting up 51 runs in the first 9 overs. However, wickets fell at regular intervals, and the run chase became increasingly tense.

Vishal Ambersriya's Heroics
The turning point came when Vishal Ambersriya walked in at number 7. In a breathtaking display of power hitting, he smashed 32 off just 13 balls, including 18 runs in one over, decorated with 4 fours and 2 sixes. His explosive batting brought Phoenix within touching distance of victory.

Nerve-Wracking Finish
Despite losing two wickets in two balls, Iliyan Panjwanii remained composed. With nerves jangling in the Phoenix dugout, Iliyan calmly took control and hit the winning boundary in the 28th over, sealing a thrilling win for Phoenix.

Player of the Match
Vishal Ambersriya's all-round performance, including his crucial 32 runs and key wickets, earned him the well-deserved Player of the Match title.
