Player of the Match: Nitish Kumar Reddy
5:14 PM IST, Local Time: A strong comeback from Andhra in the second half of the innings as they snatched victory from a cruising Jharkhand. Jharkhand's nine-match winning streak comes to an end.
Earlier, Andhra posted a competitive 203/7 after being put in to bat first. The openers set the tone early, with Ashwin Hebbar (30 off 18) and KS Bharat (35 off 19) racing to 61 in just five overs before Vikas Kumar broke the stand. M Hemanth Reddy, coming off a century in the previous game, failed to fire and managed 13 off 7.
Bharat then found an able partner in Nitish Kumar Reddy, who smashed a brisk 45 off 22 balls to keep the momentum going. Jharkhand clawed back through Anukul Roy (2/30), but late cameos from Pyla Avinash (20 off 12) and Saurabh Kumar (16* off 12) propelled Andhra past the 200-run mark.
Chasing a stiff target, Jharkhand got off to a flying start through Ishan Kishan, who smashed 35 off 18, and Virat Singh, who played a magnificent knock of 77 off 40 balls. The duo added 88 runs for the opening wicket, putting Andhra under early pressure and keeping Jharkhand well ahead of the required rate.
However, the momentum shifted in the middle overs as Andhra struck back with timely wickets. Nitish Kumar Reddy (2/32) and Saurabh Kumar (2/21) led the bowling effort, while sharp fielding further dented Jharkhand’s chase. Once Virat Singh fell in the 13th over, wickets tumbled in quick succession, and runs dried up. Robin Minz looked in good touch but failed to convert his start into a big score, departing for 25. Eventually, Jharkhand fell nine runs short of Andhra’s total and bottled the chase.
