It turned out a run-feast at the Dadoji Kondadev Stadium here on Wednesday with Srinagar ke Veer and Majhi Mumbai notching convincing victories to continue their winning run in the ISPL 2025 match on Wednesday (January 29).

Srinagar ke Veer rode a batting blitzkrieg by Sagar Ali to defeat Tiigers of Kolkata by seven wickets in a high scoring ISPL encounter before Majhi Mumbai rode on Rajat Mundhe's pyrotechnics with the willow to thrash KVN Bangalore Strikers by 22 runs.

Continuing his glorious run of form in the tournament, Ali plundered 51 runs off 25 balls with five hits to the fence and three towering sixes studding his unbeaten knock as Srinagar overhauled the challenging target of 87 runs with two deliveries to spare. With that knock, Ali also became the first batter in ISPL to record two consecutive fifties.

Put in to bat, Kolkata were off to a steady start with openers Moyoddin Shaikh and Fardeen Kazi scoring at a steady pace. Srinagar finally achieved a breakthrough when Kazi perished while going for a bit hit off the bowling of Prajyot Ambhire.

Shaikh anchored the Kolkata innings, emerging as the top scorer with a run-a-ball 23 before being sent back to the pavilion by Firoz Shaikh. However, Bhavesh Pawar, who smashed 17 runs off six balls with one boundary and two sixes, ensured that the runs kept coming at a fast clip alongside Subhajit Jana Dhoni, who stayed unbeaten on 10.

Srinagar managed to peg back their opponents somewhat when pacer Raju Mukhiya dismissed Prathamesh Thakre and Thomas Dias in the penultimate over. But Dilip Binjwa gave away 10 runs in the last over that helped Kolkata finish their innings on a high.

Chasing the challenging target, Srinagar were off to a flying start with Sagar Ali plundering 13 runs in the opening over, which yielded a total of 18 runs.

Kolkata had a glimpse of of hope when Mangesh Vaity, Akash Tarekar and Shahbaz Ahmad went back to the dugout in quick succession. However, Ali and Sanskar Dhyani ensured that Srinagar regained the upper hand with their big-hitting ability.

Rajat's fifty seals Mumbai's triumph

Opener Rajat Mundhe's unbeaten half-century sealed Majhi Mumbai's third win on the trot. After being asked to bat, Mumbai made a steady recovery after losing the trio of Mohammed Nadeem, Karan More and Abhishek Kumar Dalhor cheaply, with Rajat holding one end up before Vijay Pawle gave him company to propel the side to a mammoth 103/6 in their 10 overs.

In reply, KVN Bangalore never looked in the race as their trend of losing wickets in heaps continued to haunt them, to be eventually were restricted to 81/8. Abhishek Kumar Dalhor emerged the pick of the bowlers for Mumbai, ending up with four wickets.
