That brings an end to our coverage of this exciting ECS contest. Stay tuned to Sportskeeda for live commentaries as well as the latest news. This is me, Avik Bose and my colleague, Pradeep Somashekar, signing off.
Winning the toss and electing to BAT first, JUCC got off to a steady start. They managed 47/1 at the halfway stage and were looking to break free. After opener Nazir departed for 16 off 14 balls, Mahammad Rehman and Ul Mazhar took charge and formed a formidable partnership. Rehman departed after scoring 35 off just 24 balls while Mazhar was sent back after his brave display of 32 runs from 18 balls. The bowlers though were able to grind back into the match and put dents in the run-flow. Skipper Ishan Patel and Numan Ali took 1 wicket each. Rohin Kumar and Manwani did not add to the wickets column but played a crucial role in restricting the batsmen from breaking their shackles. JUCC managed 96/3 from their 10 overs and had something for their bowlers to fight with. Chasing 97 runs from 60 balls, RSCC stumbled at the beginning losing the wicket of opener Datta Karan in the very 1st over. But skipper Ishan Patel along with Manwani made sure that they did not make a mess of the chase. Skipper Ishan played a blinder of an innings and hit boundaries for fun. He made a mockery of the chase and took his team home remaining unbeaten on 59 off just 24 balls. Manwani got dismissed for 21 but that was indeed too little too late from JUCC's perspective. For JUCC, Ishar Ahmad took 1 wicket while others were way too expensive. RSCC comfortablely reached 97/2 with 16 balls to spare.
RSCC thus complete a resounding performance and win the match by 8 wickets while recording their 2nd victory of the tournament.
