MATCH REPORT: GENERATED BY CRIC TALENTS

KOLKATA, INDIA — The Liman Memorial Cup (LMC) 2026 witnessed a display of pure cricketing authority as Elite XI dismantled NTX XI in a high-octane league match. A total team effort combined with individual brilliance saw Elite XI secure a monumental 96-run victory, further solidifying their status as tournament heavyweights.

Elite XI: The Batting Onslaught

Opting to set a target in white-ball conditions, Elite XI posted a formidable 174/4 in just 12 overs. The innings was a masterclass in aggressive stroke-play and calculated risk-taking.

• The Anchor: Vinay Prabhakar provided the foundation for the massive total, scoring a masterful 68 off 35 balls. With 7 towering sixes, he kept the required rate climbing for the opposition from the very first over.
• The Power-Hitter: Aakash Banka was equally destructive, hammering 53 runs off 24 balls (featuring 5 sixes), ensuring the pressure was never off the NTX XI bowlers.
• The Finisher: The highlight of the innings, however, was Ritik Pratap. In a cameo that left the crowd stunned, Pratap blazed 37* off just 8 balls. With 6 sixes and a historic strike rate of 462.50, he pushed the total well beyond NTX XI's reach.

NTX XI: The Struggle Under Pressure

Chasing 175 in 12 overs required a near-perfect performance, but NTX XI found themselves trapped in Elite XI’s bowling web. They were restricted to a mere 78/9 in their 12 overs, failing to build any significant partnerships.

Ritik Pratap followed his batting fireworks with a surgical bowling performance, picking up 3 wickets for just 9 runs in 3 overs. Alongside him, Danish Iqbal Stokey was exceptional, claiming 3/20, while Sourav chipped in with two crucial wickets (2/14).
