Greenfield Gladiators Register Convincing 48-Run Victory Over Rajarhat Royals
Prathik’s all-round brilliance and Ejaz’s crucial contribution help Gladiators secure a commanding win
Batting first, the Gladiators put on an impressive display, posting a formidable 170/7 in their allotted 13 overs. The innings was built on aggressive intent, smart shot selection, and valuable contributions throughout the batting order.
The standout performer was Prathik Miittal, who produced a breathtaking knock of 35 runs off just 11 deliveries. His innings included 2 fours and 4 sixes at a staggering strike rate of 318.18, shifting the momentum decisively in favor of the Gladiators. His ability to accelerate the scoring rate at a crucial stage proved to be a game-changing factor.
Equally important was the contribution of Ejaz, who anchored the innings while maintaining a healthy scoring rate. His well-crafted 39 runs off 24 balls, featuring 5 sixes, provided the perfect foundation for the team’s big total. At a time when partnerships were needed, Ejaz ensured the scoreboard kept moving and laid the platform for the late assault.
The middle and lower order also chipped in effectively. Sagarnil played an impactful cameo of 20 runs off 12 balls, while Subhayu Das finished strongly with an unbeaten 24 off just 6 deliveries, including three towering sixes. Captain Tathagata Haldar remained unbeaten on 13, helping guide the innings to a challenging total.
Defending 170, the Gladiators’ bowling unit delivered another strong performance. Rajarhat Royals were restricted to 122/7 in their 13 overs, never quite managing to keep up with the required run rate.
The bowlers shared the responsibility brilliantly. Prathik Miittal completed a memorable all-round performance by picking up 2 wickets for 22 runs in his 3 overs, making crucial breakthroughs at important moments. Suman also claimed 2 wickets, while Ejaz, Krishanu Das, and Sachin Kharnotia chipped in with one wicket each to maintain pressure throughout the innings.
The victory was a true team effort, with meaningful contributions from both the batting and bowling departments. However, Prathik Miittal’s explosive batting and impactful spell with the ball earned him the well-deserved Player of the Match award, while Ejaz’s vital runs and wicket played a significant role in the Gladiators’ success.
With a dominant win and plenty of positives to take forward, Greenfield Gladiators have made a strong statement early in the tournament and will look to carry this momentum into their upcoming matches.
