Mohali (Punjab) [India] - On September 2, the Amritsar Soormas showcased an impressive batting display, amassing a formidable total of 264 runs for the loss of 5 wickets in their 20 overs against the Jalandhar Warriors.

However, captain Abhishek Sharma quickly turned the tide with a blistering 82 runs off just 36 balls, which included five boundaries and seven sixes. His explosive innings set the stage for a substantial total.

Naman Dhir then took charge, delivering a stunning 117 runs from 56 balls, featuring seven fours and ten sixes, as he relentlessly attacked the Jalandhar bowlers. Dhir's century was pivotal in helping the Soormas reach their impressive score of 264/5.

JS Sidhu contributed significantly towards the end, scoring 33 runs off only 12 balls, which included three fours and three sixes.

In response, the Jalandhar Warriors successfully chased down the target in just 16.5 overs, thanks to Prabhsimran Singh's unbeaten 125 runs off 47 balls. Despite the loss, the Soormas can take pride in their explosive batting performance, which marked their highest total in the tournament.

The standout performances from Abhishek and Naman Dhir highlighted the Soormas' batting strength and their capability to challenge opposing teams.

Looking ahead, the Amritsar Soormas aim to maintain their momentum as they prepare to face the Fazilka Falcons in Match 7 of the Sher-e-Punjab T20 League at the PCA IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali today. Naman Dhir is expected to be a key player, while captain Abhishek Sharma will seek to replicate his explosive form from the previous match. The Soormas are eager to convert their batting prowess into a comprehensive team performance and secure their first points against a Fazilka side that recently triumphed over Jalandhar by eight wickets.
