Danish Malewar played an unflustered yet belligerent knock of 72 off 46 balls to set the tone for the side. He received excellent support from Updesh Rajput, who replied stroke by stroke to him with 71 off 46 deliveries. Skipper Atharva Taide blasted a fiery cameo, hammering 41 from 20 balls to take the total to a big height. Even as the run rate looked high, ORT bowlers were unable to stem the run flow. Akshay Karnewar (1/35), Darshan Nalkande (1/53), and Kshitiz Dahiya (0/15) could not stop the run rate as BHR set a huge target.
