NRK Fall Short Despite Late Fightback by Arun Karthik and Adnan Khan

NRK came to chase the hefty target of 213 runs and struggled right from the word go. Their skipper, Arun Karthik, had a terrible time in the middle, and he saw the wickets to tumble at the other end. Santosh Duraisamy, NS Harish, and G Ajitesh got out inside the powerplay, and at the end of the 10th over, Arun Karthik walked off as his blood sugar level went down. And to add more pain, Rithik Easwaran got out in the next ball.

Later, Arun Karthik came back in after getting some treatment and started hitting better. He and Adnan Khan reduced the margin of loss. They added 69 from 33 balls together. Arun completed his fifty and got out for 51. Adnan missed his well-deserved fifty by just 2 runs, and NRK finished with 171/9 on the board. Abhishek Tanwar claimed 3 wickets, and he is the current purple cap holder in this tournament. Swapnil Singh and M Silambarasan, the left-arm tweakers, took a couple of wickets, and impact sub TD Lokesh Raj took a wicket in the final over of the game.
