Royal Nimar Eagles Triumph Over Rewa Jaguars in Thrilling MPL T20 Match
Eagles Secure Victory in Nail-Biting Finish
In an exhilarating match at the Madhya Pradesh League (MPL) T20 Scindia Cup 2026 held at Daly College, Indore, the Royal Nimar Eagles clinched a dramatic 3-wicket win against the Rewa Jaguars. Chasing a target of 131 runs, the Eagles managed to cross the finish line with just three balls remaining.
The Eagles' innings began poorly, as they found themselves at a precarious 11 runs for 3 wickets within the first three overs.
However, a vital partnership of 65 runs for the fourth wicket between Anand Bais and Captain Saransh Jain helped stabilize the innings. Saransh contributed a steady 28 runs off 26 balls before his dismissal, while Bais played a pivotal role, scoring a well-deserved half-century.
Following the captain's exit, the Eagles faced another challenge when Shivansh Chaturvedi was out for 10 runs off 10 balls.
The tension escalated when Bais was dismissed for 64 runs off 56 balls, leaving the team needing six runs from the last eight balls with four wickets still in hand. After Parush Mandal was out, Royal Nimar required just one run from four balls. Abhishek Mavi kept his composure and secured the victory on the very next delivery, finishing unbeaten with 15 runs off 8 balls.
Jaguars Struggle Despite Mahajan's Efforts
Earlier in the match, the Rewa Jaguars faced significant challenges with the bat, losing wickets consistently throughout their innings.
The team was in a tough spot at 22 runs for 2 wickets when Arham Aqueel and Ashwin Das joined forces to form a 41-run partnership. Das scored 18 runs off 21 balls before being dismissed, which triggered a mini-collapse, leading to Aqueel's departure for 33 runs off 29 balls.
The Jaguars found themselves in dire straits at 116 runs for 8 wickets. Atharva Mahajan fought valiantly in the latter part of the innings, remaining not out with 33 runs off 28 balls, helping the Jaguars finish their innings at 130 runs for 8 wickets in their allotted 20 overs.
