Jharkhand will lock horns with Chhattisgarh Red in the 4th match of the Chhattisgarh Mens T20 at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur on September 30. Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh Red have played a match each so far, and both of them have lost their matches, respectively.
Jharkhand had played off against Kerala in their last match, where Kerala won the toss and elected to bowl. Jharkhand started off well, and the openers looked in good touch. They had amassed 43 runs for the opening partnership in just five overs, but as soon as it broke, floodgates for wickets were opened as they lost five wickets in the next 32 runs. Due to late efforts by the lower order, they reached a total of 131 runs. Kerala started well, and especially after the first wicket fall, they further raced up their scoring rate and hence won the match easily by seven wickets.
Chhattisgarh Red had played off against Andhra in their last encounter, where Andhra won the toss and elected to bowl. Being put to bat, Chhattisgarh Red put up a fabulous show with the bat as both their opener notched up their respective fifties. However, they did not receive much help from the rest of the batting lineup but still were able to put up a good total of 177 on the board. Andhra lost a wicket early, but a complete decimation from Ashwin Hebbar and Shaik Rasheed meant Andhra won the match by eight wickets.
