π ROYAL BENGALS GOLD ARE INTO THE GRAND FINAL!
History made. After 13 years, Royal Bengals have reached their first-ever Sub Cup Grand Final!
In a high-pressure semi-final, Haryana Royals posted 132 all out, but once again it was the Royal Bengals spin duo of Rubel and Tawnid who changed the complexion of the innings. Both finished with outstanding figures of 3/16, consistently slowing the scoring and picking up crucial wickets through the middle overs. Tawnid also produced an incredible grab β a genuine catch-of-the-season contender.
Fahim delivered a brilliant and crucial over late in the innings before Abhi and Haris were outstanding at the death. Haris finished with 2/12 from 3 overs, as Royals closed out the innings and restricted Haryana to a very chaseable 132.
The chase began with an early setback, losing Rony in the first over. But Shahroz and Abhi responded with a composed partnership that settled the nerves and rebuilt the innings. After Abhi departed for 21, Rhid joined Shahroz, and the pair calmly moved Royals ahead of the required rate.
On the biggest stage, Shahroz was back to his brilliant best. He showed his class, composure and shot-making ability when it mattered most, producing a magnificent 57 from 40 balls.
His dismissal triggered a dramatic twist, with Royals losing four quick wickets and suddenly finding themselves under pressure. But Rhid refused to panic. He kept his composure, fought through the tense period and, with valuable support from Haris and Parvez, edged Royals closer to history.
And there couldnβt have been a more fitting finish.
Captain Swarup struck the winning runs, with Rhid unbeaten on 31, sending Royal Bengals into their FIRST-EVER SUB CUP GRAND FINAL after 13 years! ππ₯
