Vikings opting to bat first at Billionaires Sports Arena in Hyderabad, Telangana scored 162/6 in 20 overs.

Yagnesh led from the front in bowling department taking 2/12 in 4 overs including a maiden.
Elite India United in reply did lost some early wickets with scoreboard reading 34/3 and 68/4 at one stage but it was their middle order consisting of Yagnesh, Tarun Sharma and SP Sai who made things possible with their crucial batting contributions. Yagnesh (35 off 25) and Tarun (44* off 26) stitched a crucial 48 run stand for the 5th wicket followed by another unbeaten 50* sixth wicket stand with SP Sai (24*) as Elite India scripted a memorable win by 5 wkts crossing the victory line in the final over.
Tarun who led the team played a Captain’s knock not only scoring a match winning 44* but also forging two crucial partnerships at the middle order.
Tarun shared with Zoomcricket: It was an absolute team work where all the players did their job. It was a team win and I am proud of my team mates. I would also like to thank my employers JSS Associates, they not only took me onboard but they also encourage me alot by giving me leaves or work from home whenever I have matches.
