That is the coverage of our tournament for APL. For now, this is me Hrutuja Deshmukh signing off on behalf of my co-commentators Aditya Agarwal and Saptak Sanyal who, alongside our scorer/analyst Zeeshan Naiyer brought you all the live action of this fixture. We will meet again. Until then, cheers!
Shaik Rasheed(Coastal Riders Captain): "Initially we got a good start but we struggled to get runs in the middle overs. We didn't look at posting some big runs. We were eager to do well in fielding and bowling.
There are some blips from us, but it happens in cricket. The momentum was almost 50-50 and then our bowlers did well. We already decided that we will stick our plans and not tinker with it much. There were a few awesome catches, from Harsha specially. We are delighted to see the team effort.
In cricket, win and lose are all set to come. We try to go with the momentum. My knee is hurting but I was committed to the game and see my team winning this game."

Time for the presentation.
22:17 IST and Local Time | Ladies and gentlemen welcome to this electrifying match between the Vizag Warriors and the Coastal Riders. Batting first, the Coastal Riders put up a commendable 165 on the board, losing 8 wickets. The Vizag Warriors had a challenging target of 166 runs from 120 balls. And what a spectacle we witnessed tonight as the Coastal Riders won this match by 3 runs. Coastal Riders managed to gain this win in the last over.
The Coastal Riders, though putting up a decent fight, had a somewhat average day on the field. Their skipper Shaik Rasheed led from the front with a fiery 67 runs off just 48 balls, setting the tone for his team. Dharani Kumar contributed with 21 runs, and Abhishek Reddy made 28 runs from 16 balls, anchoring the innings. Despite these efforts, the Coastal Riders couldn't fully capitalize on their start, ending with a total of 165.
As the Vizag Warriors stepped in to chase the target, the atmosphere was electric. Ashwin Hebbar set the foundation with a steady 31 off 24 balls. But it was Captain Srikar Bharat's extraordinary partnership with Karan Shinde that truly turned the game around. Bharat made 69 runs off 46 balls, steering their team closer to the target. Karan Shinde's composed 41 off 38 balls was a masterclass in controlled aggression.
The Coastal Riders' bowling attack lacked the punch needed to contain the Warriors. Cheepurapalli Stephen took 3 and Siraparapu Ashish managed to take one wicket, but overall, the bowlers fell short in intent and execution. The Coastal Riders' bowling came to life in the last three overs. The Coastal Riders capitalized on this, cruising to a well-deserved victory. They won by 3 runs.
What a beautiful match this has been! The Coastal Riders displayed exceptional skill and determination, making this a night to remember. Congratulations to them on their splendid win.
