Uttar Pradesh T20: Meerut Mavericks continued their dominance and remained on top of the points table with another victory in the UP T20 2024 as they defeated the Kanpur Superstars by 22 runs via the DLS method. Having set a target of 106 in nine overs in the 20th game of the competition at the BRSABV Ekana Stadium the Mavericks bowled Kanpur out for 83 to clinch their sixth victory.

A solid showing with the bat from Madhav Kaushik helped Meerut make 90 from their nine overs despite a relatively slow start. Zeeshan Ansari followed that up with a continuation of his dream run this season with a three-wicket haul in the two overs he bowled in the chase. Zeeshan’s spell, which came after Ankur Malik’s 13-ball 33 had given the Kanpur side the start they needed, proved to be the turning point of the game.

Having come on to bowl with the score at 43/1 in four overs, Ansari was smashed for a six and a four in the first three balls he bowled to Sameer Rizvi. The Kanpur skipper should have, however, gone on to finish off the game from that point onward but an inside edge rolled back onto stumps off the fourth ball of that fifth over. Ansari had the opening he wanted and he followed it up with a couple more wickets in his spell.
