LLC 2024: India Capitals Keep Playoff Hopes Alive With Last-ball Win Over Gujarat Greats
Impact Player Dwayne Smith: India Capitals secured a crucial four-wicket victory over Gujarat Greats, keeping their playoff hopes alive in the Legends League Cricket (LLC) 2024. The match went down to the final ball, with skipper Ian Bell hitting the winning run to guide his team home in a tense chase of 135 at the Maulana Azad Stadium in Jammu. Ian Bell was awarded the Legend of the Match award for his unbeaten 41 runs to guide his team to victory.
Gujarat Greats won the toss and opted to bat first, but their innings faltered early. India Capitals’ star bowler, Iqbal Abdulla, made an immediate impact, dismissing Gujarat’s captain Shikhar Dhawan for just one run in the second over.
Chris Gayle provided some fireworks, smashing five boundaries in a quickfire 21 off 11 balls, but his stay was cut short by Dhawal Kulkarni, who had him caught at mid-off. Abdulla continued his fine form, taking two more quick wickets, including opener Morne van Wyk (10 off 16) and Manan Sharma (0 off 1), reducing Gujarat to 38/4 by the 6th over.
