Rishav Dubey's Unbeaten 63 Rescues Rising Stars in a 20-Run Win Over Ak Mavericks
Man of the Match Rishav Dubey's unbeaten 63 off 21 balls, with seven sixes, drags Rising Stars from 28/7 to 122/9, before his two wickets with the ball help seal a 20-run win at Eco Park Helipad
Rising Stars held off a spirited fightback to beat Ak Mavericks by 20 runs at Eco Park Helipad, in a match that swung entirely on one remarkable innings. Rising Stars collapsed to 28/9 before rallying to 122/9 from their 10 overs, and Ak Mavericks fell just short in reply, finishing on 102/9. It was a contest that looked to be slipping away from Rising Stars inside the first three overs, before their captain took charge.
Man of the Match: Rishav Dubey
Rishav Dubey produced a captain's innings of the highest order. Rising Stars had slipped to a stunning 28/7 inside four overs, with wickets tumbling all around him, but Rishav Dubey stood firm and simply took the game away from Ak Mavericks. His unbeaten 63 off just 21 balls — three fours and seven sixes, at a strike rate of 300.00 — single-handedly rebuilt the innings from the rubble, carrying Rising Stars from the brink of a tiny total all the way to a defendable 122/9. He then backed it up with the ball, picking up two crucial wickets in the chase, making him a comfortable and complete choice for Man of the Match.
Key Contributions from Teammates
With most of the top order back in the pavilion cheaply, it was himanish singh who gave Rishav Dubey the support he badly needed, playing a handy 22 off 14 (one four, two sixes) to add 31 valuable runs for the eighth wicket. In defence of the total, himanish singh was even more influential with the ball, ripping through Ak Mavericks' top order with figures of 3/7 from his 2 overs at an economy of just 3.50, while Alok Kumar chipped in with 3/10 of his own to keep the required rate climbing throughout the chase.
Ak Mavericks' Notable Performances
Ak Mavericks came agonisingly close to pulling off the chase. Sachi was their standout batter, striking 27 off 13 (one four, three sixes), and useful contributions from Biswajit (18 off 12) and a late flourish from Yubo — unbeaten on 11 off just 3 balls — kept the chase alive until the closing stages. Sayantan Giri had earlier been excellent with the ball, taking 3/12 in the powerplay to trigger Rising Stars' top-order collapse, and Yubo added 3/25 of his own. But despite the fight, Ak Mavericks came up 20 runs short in the end.
Looking Ahead
The result keeps Rising Stars' campaign alive heading into the next round, while Ak Mavericks will take real encouragement from how close they came despite conceding an extraordinary individual innings. Both sides continue their campaigns at Eco Park Helipad in the matches to come.
