In a thrilling low-scoring drama, the Pagariya Strikers recovered from a late meltdown to pursue the target with only two wickets remaining, clinching a victory to remember and securing their spot in the VPL 2025 final against NECO Master Blaster.

Orange Tigers Innings

Orange Tigers were bowled out for 132 in 19.2 overs after batting first. Wicket-keeper opener Rohit V. Binkar held the innings together with a vital 52 off 41 balls, and Akshay Karnewar (21 off 14) and Yash Rathod (18 off 13) contributed with brisk runs. But the middle and lower order could not capitalize on the platform as the Pagariya bowlers kept on coming at regular intervals. Ashit Singh starred with the ball, claiming 3/10 in just 3 overs. Dipesh Parwani (2/29) and Kaustubh Salve (2/23) added to the pressure with disciplined spells, restricting ORT to a below-par total.

Pagariya Strikers Innings

Chasing 133, Pagariya Strikers managed some dodgy moments to reach 133/8 in 19.2 overs. Ashit Singh continued his all-round performance, making a breezy 33 off 20 balls, while MD Faiz (33 off 36) steadied the innings with some middle-overs solidity. Skipper Yash Kadam added a crucial 32 from 27 balls. Although there was a courageous comeback by Akshay Karnewar (3/21) and Minar Sahare (2/18), the Strikers managed to surpass the target in the last over. Tushar Suryavanshi (1/1) also staged a late drama, but Pagariya maintained their composure to seal a closely fought victory.

With this dramatic victory, Pagariya Strikers will now take on NECO Master Blaster in the grand final of VPL 2025. Both sides have displayed great form throughout the competition, and they will be all set for a thrilling contest for the VPL 2025 title at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium.
