Chasing a stiff target of 194 runs, the Warriors were jolted early when opener Sanat Sangwan was bowled by Harshit Rana without scoring. But the setback hardly rattled the side as Priyansh Arya and Rishabh Drall counterattacked in style.
The duo stitched together a brisk 67-run stand for the second wicket, putting pressure back on the Strikers’ bowling unit.
Drall’s innings of 38 off 25 balls, laced with clean strokes, kept the scoreboard ticking before he was dismissed. Arya, however, continued to dominate with an aggressive approach.
He raced to a match-defining 76 off just 30 balls. His knock not only set the tempo but also reduced the equation to a manageable chase. Arya eventually fell to Vikas Dixit, caught by Sarthak Ranjan.
The finishing touches came from Keshav Dabas and Dhruv Singh, who ensured there were no late hiccups. Keshav played a composed hand of 46 not out off 35 balls, while Dhruv added a quick 26 not out off 17 balls, as the Warriors completed the chase in 18 overs.
