The Wonder Mewar Premier League—a high-voltage 10-day cricketing extravaganza at the Shikarbadi Cricket Ground, organized by the Wonder Cement Cricket Academy—is well and truly over. In the thorny final of this 100-Sports-organized league under the aegis of UDCA, Dungarpur Dragons made a miraculous 1-run win against Royal Rajputana Conquerors. Match Referee Deepak Hooda, who is on the Indian team, began the match with the green flag at 5 pm sharp. After winning the toss, Royal Rajputana Conquerors selected fielding. On the other side, Kohan Kothari from Dungarpur got going by scoring 41 runs in 27 balls at the start of the very first ball. The team suffered on the count of 25, Rohan being the first wicket down.
Captain Nikhil Sachdev, who came to bat at number three in a befitting manner according to his captaincy, scored 31 runs off 20 balls; after that, Ashok Sharma played a quick innings of 20 runs in 10 balls at a strike rate of 200, taking the team to 155 runs in the stipulated 20 overs. Shahbaz Khan and Karan Singh bowled out 2-2 wickets for Royal Rajputana.
Royal Rajputana came close on the heels of the target with an aggressive start through their opening batsman, Ram Mohan Chauhan, who scored 47 runs off 25 balls, but the middle order failed to consolidate, and the team lost as many as seven wickets before reaching 101. After that, it was Vishal Godara who once again took the helm and smashed the ball across the boundary line, but fate had something else as he was run out after scoring 33 by making 21 balls, and one run made the team lose the match. The player of the match was Ashok Sharma, who capitalized on the opportunities that came his way with both bat and ball.
The winner was awarded with a cheque of Rs. 3 lakhs whereas to the runner-up a cheque of Rs. 1.5 lakhs was awarded.
