All-rounder Sagar Solanki slams an unbeaten 12-ball 39 to set the tone for the Rewa Jaguars.
The second match of the Madhya Pradesh T20 League between Bhopal Leopards and Jabalpur Royal Lions could not yield a result due to persistent rain. The Royal Lions won the toss and put the Leopards in to bat. They could only get to 130/6 in 16 overs before rain played spoilsport. As a result, the game had to be called off.
We were almost on the verge of losing out on Match 3 when the rain relented, giving us room for a 6-over per side game. Bundelkhand Bulls won the toss and elected to field against the Rewa Jaguars. Prithviraj Tomar and Sagar Solanki powered the Jaguars to 87/3 in their six overs. Tomar scored an 18-ball 37 whereas Solanki struck at 325. Priyanshu Shukla was the only successful bowler. He ended up picking all three wickets, conceding 18 runs in his two overs.
In response, the Bundelkhand Bulls were left reeling at xx/x, credit to some tight bowling from the Jaguars. Kumar Kartikeya was the limelight for the Jaguars. He stole the show with three wickets for 12 runs in his quota of two overs. None of the batters could make an impact as the Jaguars kept chipping away with wickets at regular intervals. As a result, the Bulls were caught napping and had to concede two points.
