Pradeep Sangwanâs American Strikers are placed in second place, with three wins out of four matches. Meanwhile, the Kings are crawling at the bottom of the table after losing all its three games so far.
The Strikers are coming off a fantastic victory over the Euro Gladiators in its last outing. In a rain-disturbed clash, the Gladiators first posted a total of 188/5.
After a bit of rain, the Strikers were given a target of 168 runs to be chased down in 17 overs. Gaurav Tomar played the innings of the tournament and took the Americans over the rope with a massive century.
On the other hand, the Kings received a beating from the Indian Warriors in their last game. Batting first, efforts from Bipul Sharma (46), Amit Mishra (24* in 6), and Tilakaratne Dilshan (23) took them to a respectable 195/7.
In the chase, rain came in between their fate as well. The Warriors got a target of 150 runs after the game was cut down to 14 overs. Pawan Negi (42* in 23), Arun Chaprana (33* off 12) and Kedar Devdhar (33) helped the Warriors get home in just 13.1 overs.
