The first match of the Muzaffarnagar Premier League started with an exciting game between MMC Titans and Amba Warriors. Amba Warriors won the coin toss and decided to bowl first, allowing the Titans to set a target.
MMC Titans Innings
MMC Titans won the match by 27 runs against Amba Warriors in an exciting game, with Deepak Rana playing a key role in their victory. The Titans set a good total, but even though the Warriors tried hard to chase it down, they fell short. Harshit Sethi and Dinesh Kumar were the top performers for the Warriors, hitting some impressive shots, but they couldn't keep up the run rate under pressure.
The MMC Titans started their innings with Aonik Rana and Ritik Arora at the crease. Abhishek Chaudhary opened the bowling for Amba Warriors. Aonik was cautious at first, playing a defensive shot towards deep cover, while Ritik also struggled to get off the mark, facing some disciplined bowling from Chaudhary.
The breakthrough came early when Dinesh Kumar dismissed Ritik Arora, bowled out for a duck. The Titans were 1 down with no score on the board. Deepak Rana and Aonik Rana steadied the ship, with Deepak getting a couple of boundaries off Dinesh Kumar’s bowling, including a well-timed drive for four.
However, the innings saw a few quick wickets falling. Aonik Rana, who was looking solid, was dismissed LBW by Harshit Sethi for a crucial 12 runs. Deepak Rana played a few wonderful shots, hitting boundaries and even sixes, but he too eventually fell to Dinesh Kumar, caught after scoring a valuable 33 runs.
The middle-order couldn’t capitalize on the foundation laid by the openers. Key wickets fell at regular intervals, with Mohit Sharma and Rajat Nirwal both being dismissed, with the latter bowled out by Akash Luthra for 1 run. Lavish Kumar also fell for a duck, LBW to Dinesh Kumar, as Amba Warriors tightened their grip on the game.
Despite a few strong shots from Deepak Rana and Rajat Nirwal, MMC Titans finished their innings at 143/9 in 20 overs, with Deepak being the top scorer with 33 runs.
Amba Warriors
The Amba Warriors faced a tough challenge in their innings as the MMC Titans' bowlers delivered a strong and effective performance. The Warriors struggled to create meaningful partnerships and lost important wickets at critical moments.
The innings started with Arpit Baliyan, who looked confident by hitting a boundary off Ravikant’s first ball but was then dismissed for no runs on the very next delivery. This set a difficult tone for their chase. Udit Panwar and Sagar Sharma tried to stabilize the innings, with Panwar hitting a couple of boundaries, including a straight drive and a top edge that went to deep fine leg. However, the Titans’ bowlers, especially Ravikant and Rajat Nirwal, kept up the pressure and limited the Warriors' scoring.
Sagar Sharma’s time at the crease was brief; he was caught off a ball from Rajat Nirwal. Soon after, Udit Panwar was also out for no runs, caught by Ritik Vats, putting the Warriors in a tough spot. Harshit Sethi showed some fight with powerful shots, including a slog sweep for a boundary, but the Warriors’ middle-order fell apart. Sethi was eventually out, caught for 4 runs, and Dinesh Kumar followed, dismissed by Ritik Vats with a shot that went to long-on.
The Warriors’ chances of a successful chase dwindled further as key batsmen like Akash Luthra and Raman were dismissed. Luthra was caught by Ritik Vats, while Raman was trapped LBW by Rajat Nirwal. The lower order also struggled, with Abhishek Chaudhary bowled out by Naveen Kalania and Ritesh being stumped after a delivery from Kalania.
As the innings went on, the Warriors found it increasingly hard to keep up, and they eventually fell short. The Titans’ bowlers, led by Deepak Rana, remained steady and took a crucial catch off Mohd Adnan’s delivery to finish off the innings. The Warriors were bowled out for a low total, and their batting could not keep up with the Titans’ strong bowling, leading to a 27-run defeat.
In short, the Amba Warriors faced a batting collapse, losing wickets frequently without forming any solid partnerships, which made it impossible to chase the target. The MMC Titans’ bowlers executed their plans well, with important wickets taken by Deepak Rana, Ritik Vats, and others, resulting in a clear win for their team.
