T20I Skipper SKY banged a 25-ball half century, still lost by 5 wickets. Varun Lavande responded with 57 off 38, momentum shifted after wickets, Sairaj Patil ensured contest by 4 mammoth sixes.
India’s T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav struck a blistering 25-ball half-century but his heroics weren’t enough as Triumph Knights Mumbai North East lost to Eagle Thane Strikers by five wickets in the third season of the T20 Mumbai League 2025 on Wednesday.
Suryakumar (50), ably supported by Jigar Rana (53), anchored the Knights’ innings as they posted a competitive 179/7 after being asked to bat first.
In response, Varun Lavande powered the Strikers’ chase with a fiery 57 off 38 balls, guiding them to a strong 89/1 at the halfway mark. His 73-run stand with Anish (37) laid a solid foundation, but the momentum briefly shifted after the Knights came up with a couple of quick wickets.
