Playing on the home ground, Arera team faced no problem in beating the VNS team. As the Arera Academy knew that the moisture available at the wicket in the morning would help the seamers, team’s skipper invited VNS to bat first after winning the toss.

The all famous Sunil Pandey and Sumit Taneja of Arera Sports with their brilliant bowling made things difficult for the VNS all through the inning. The two took seven wickets. For the VNS team, Devendra and Amar scored 19 and 17 respectively.
In reply, Arera team equalled the target with the help of quick-fire 70 off 40 deliveries by Jyotiraditya Singh. The team won the match without losing any wicket.
