20:35 Local Time, 20:20 IST: Sudurpaschim Royals eventually completed a five-wicket victory over Chitwan Rhinos after a few nervy moments during the chase...... Having restricted the Rhinos to a modest total of 129 runs, the Royals were expected to finish the job comfortably, but their batting performance made the contest more competitive than anticipated. The chase got off to a disappointing start as Saif departed for just two runs, while Binod was dismissed for 11. Brandon McMullen then stepped up with an impressive knock, displaying good touch and finding boundaries around the ground. He looked confident at the crease and kept the scoreboard moving. Pandey also contributed 29 runs, helping the Royals maintain their momentum during the middle overs. However, both batters departed in quick succession, with Brandon falling for 43 and Pandey getting out for just one run. Their dismissals slowed the chase and brought some pressure back on the Royals. Nevertheless, Aarif Sheikh and Sherfane Rutherford held their nerve in the closing stages, guiding their side home and securing a hard-fought five-wicket win.
