Royal Nimar Eagles displayed a dominant performance, securing an eight-wicket win against Bhopal Leopards in a rain-affected match at the Holkar Stadium in Indore. The game, reduced to 13 overs per side due to rain, saw Kumar Kartikeya shine with a remarkable six-wicket haul for the Eagles.
Bhopal Leopards struggled early on, losing key wickets, but a partnership between Rahul Chandrol and Ansh Bagadia provided some resistance. Despite their efforts, the Leopards failed to build momentum, eventually succumbing to Kartikeya’s devastating spell.
In response, Royal Nimar Eagles chased down the target comfortably in 9.2 overs, with Kanishk Dubey’s explosive half-century guiding them to victory. Kartikeya, reflecting on his hattrick and the team’s performance, emphasized the positive team atmosphere and the focus on approaching each game as a knockout match.
