Innings 2 — Super Lions buckle under pressure — 139/8
Chasing 197, the Super Lions never found the fluency needed. Amit Kumar (Wk) was the most patient at the top, scoring 23 off 34 balls with 3 fours before retiring hurt, disrupting the chase at a critical juncture. Maiwand Stanikzai played a brisk 21 off 15 (1 four, 2 sixes, SR: 140), and Umair Ahmad was the aggressor with 28 off 18 balls (4 fours, 1 six, SR: 155.56) before being caught off Ankush Panwar’s bowling.
Saravanakumar Subramani tried to rebuild with 15 off 23, and Gideon Lourens hit a quick 15 off 10 (2 sixes). But the middle order crumbled rapidly — Lokesh Verma (1), Minal Fulzele (1), Kanukula Prashanth (0), and Mohd Sarfaraz Ahmad (0) all fell in quick succession for just 2 runs. Ahmad Adil kept the Lions’ hopes alive with a late 15 off 7 balls (2 sixes), but Aditya Kumar (4 off 6) and he couldn’t bridge the 57-run gap, leaving the Lions at 139/8 at the final whistle.
