The August 27, Sunday, witnessed an exhilarating Grand Finale at Lauderhill, Florida, as the US Masters T10 League 2023 reached its pinnacle with the clash between New York Warriors and Texas Chargers.
The anticipated summit showdown escalated into a gripping Super Over, culminating in a victory for the Texas Chargers.
The coin favored Texas Chargers, who elected to field first in the grand finale of the US Masters T10 League 2023. Displaying a commendable performance with the ball, they contained New York Warriors to a total of 92/6.
The standout star of the fielding side was Ehsan Adil, who shone brightly with remarkable figures of 3/11 from his two overs. His skillful execution resulted in the dismissal of key players such as Tillakaratne Dilshan, Richard Levi, and Shahid Afridi.
During the chase, the team batting second, Texas Chargers, had reached a score of 82/4 by the end of the eighth over. However, a remarkable turn of events occurred in the ninth over when Sohail, a key player from New York Warriors, showcased his prowess by snatching four wickets.
This impressive feat caused a significant setback for the Chargers, as their score dwindled to 84/8. Sohail’s wickets included Upul Tharanga, Phil Mustard, Perera, and Neil Broom.
Shahid Afridi, another vital contributor for the Warriors, followed suit by taking the wickets of Sohail Tanvir and Edwards off the last two deliveries of the innings. This series of events led the match into an intense Super Over, prolonging the contest’s excitement.
In the Super Over, Texas Chargers bat first and managed to accumulate a score of 15 runs for the loss of 1 wicket. Dunk and Mukhtar contributed by each striking a six against Sohail.
In the chase for 16 runs, New York Warriors’ efforts fell short as they reached a total of 13/0. Surprisingly, Afridi struggled to execute the power shots against Tanvir’s bowling. Although Carter’s final-ball six provided a moment of hope, it proved insufficient as time had run out on their chances.
A super over to bring the curtains down on a super finale 👊
