Aditya Kumar Hela's All-Round Show Powers Rising Stars to a 56-Run Win Over Shapoorji Orcas
Man of the Match Aditya Kumar Hela's 26 off 9 and miserly 1/7 headline a complete display, as Ghanshyam's 49 lifted Rising Stars to 149/9 before Shapoorji Orcas fell away to 93/7 at Eco Park Helipad
Rising Stars posted a competitive total and then bowled and fielded with real discipline to beat Shapoorji Orcas by 56 runs at Eco Park Helipad. Rising Stars were bowled out for 149/9 from their 10 overs, but it proved more than enough as Shapoorji Orcas fell away to 93/7 in reply. The contest was shaped by one complete all-round performance that touched every part of the game.
Man of the Match: Aditya Kumar Hela
Aditya Kumar Hela had a hand in almost everything that mattered for Rising Stars. With the bat, he played a rapid 26 off just 9 balls (four sixes, strike rate 288.89) to help push the total past 140. Then, with the ball, he was the most disciplined bowler on either side, returning figures of 1/7 from his 2 overs at an economy of just 3.50 in a match where boundaries flowed everywhere else. He also ran out Prabal Hazra in the field during the chase, capping off a genuinely complete performance that made him an easy choice for Man of the Match.
Key Contributions from Teammates
Rising Stars' total was rescued by a superb late innings from Ghanshyam, who top-scored with 49 off just 18 balls (one four, six sixes, strike rate 272.22) after the top order had stumbled to 57/6. Toxic had earlier provided some early stability with 25 off 15, and himanish singh finished unbeaten on 14 off 5 to help Rising Stars reach 149. In defence, Alok Kumar was outstanding in a brief burst, taking 2/6 from his over, and Toxic also chipped in with the wicket of Biswajeet Dey.
Shapoorji Orcas' Notable Performances
Chasing 150, Shapoorji Orcas never quite built the partnerships they needed. Piyush Singh gave them a bright start with 29 off 14 (one four, three sixes) before being bowled by Aditya Kumar Hela, and Akash Choudhary finished unbeaten on 13 off just 4 balls at the death. aurangzeb rashid also chipped in at both ends, an unbeaten 8 with the bat to go with 2/23 earlier with the ball. But with wickets falling regularly through the middle overs, Shapoorji Orcas could only reach 93/7, well short of the target.
Looking Ahead
The win keeps Rising Stars firmly in the hunt as the tournament continues, while Shapoorji Orcas will look to bat with more application through the middle overs in their remaining matches. Both sides return to action in the coming rounds at Eco Park Helipad.
