In the first match, the Rakeesh-led Unstoppables batted first, posting 57 runs from their allotted ten overs. Vishal was the standout performer, top-scoring with 17.
Chasing a modest target, the Chris-led Paradise Kings started aggressively, smashing 21 runs in the very first over. But the momentum shifted when Rakeesh struck back with three quick wickets, leaving the Kings reeling.
