Pondicherry Premier League 2024 Most Runs and Most Wickets after Mahe Megalo Strikers vs Villianur Mohit Kings (Updated) ft. Aman Khan and Adil Tunda

The 2024 edition of the Pondicherry Premier League culminated with an all-important final at the Puducherry Siechem Ground after 33 games. The Mahe Megalo Strikers took on the Villianur Mohit Kings to challenge for the championship trophy on Friday, August 23.

The Strikers, after winning the toss, chose to bowl first against the Villianur Mohit Kings, which paid instant dividends, as the Kings were 10-3 after three overs. Coming in at No. 4 and 5, respectively, Aman Khan (20 off 11) and Damodaran Rohit (19 off 17) failed to convert their decent starts.

Sabhay Chadha’s 16-ball 27 cameo helped the Kings cross the 100-run mark, getting bowled out for 116 in 18.5 overs. Chadha’s innings were laced with two boundaries and as many maximums.

Vishal Khokhar (3-27) and Karthik Nair (3-17) helped the strikers restrict the Kings to a below-par first-inning total. Fabid Ahmed and JR Sreeraj complemented them by scalping two wickets each for the Mahe-based franchise.

Chasing 117 to win the tournament, the Strikers lost their openers early. However, Ritesh Gudge (53* off 44) held fort for the Strikers, who beat the Kings with six wickets and 17 deliveries to spare. Sabhay Chada took 2-27 for the Kings, but in vain.
