Bowling highlights included C. Ashwad Rajiv’s 5/28 for Evergreen and several important wicket-taking contributions in lower-scoring matches.

The ‘B’ Division tournament delivered a blend of explosive batting, decisive bowling spells and competitive run chases. Sri Chakra produced the highest total, amassing 398/6 in 50 overs against Raju Cricket Club. Mohammed Rehan struck 113 off 125 balls, while M. Durga Ujwal unleashed a blistering 107 off just 53 balls, featuring 14 fours and six sixes. Aneesh Karthik added 52 as Sri Chakra established a formidable total and eventually won by 131 runs.

Pranaveer claimed 5/20 for Medak District and Dhruva Advaith took 5/22 for Vijay Hanuman. Kalpanesh Sen and K.
