After having gone down to Bengal and Vidarbha in their previous two outings, Deepak Hooda-led Rajasthan turned up with an all-round performance as they defeated Jharkhand by 18 runs in a Group D match of the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy 2023-24 in Chandigarh on Saturday. It is Rajasthan’s first win from three games.
Chasing a moderate total of 161, Jharkhand’s top-order had a tough time facing the seamers. In no time, Virat Singh’s side was reduced to 21/3 in 4.1 overs by left-arm seamers Aniket Choudhary (3-0-16-2) and Khaleel Ahmed (4-0-17-1).
