6.35pm  The Spartans entered the match with the right intent, determined to chase down a daunting target. Having already lost two games in the tournament, they needed a win to climb up the points table. Despite their spirited effort, the target proved to be beyond their reach. Unfortunately, the Spartans added another loss to their tally, making it three losses in four games so far. Spartans got off to a flier with R Kavin seeing the ball as a football, he struck a few lusty blows up top, but gave away his wicket rather quickly. Spartans were able to be on par with the scoring rate at least during the Powerplay. Rajendran Vivek showcased his power-hitting skills and was only dealing in boundaries as he racked up 33 runs in just 10 deliveries, although, he tried to hunt down the third maximum in an over against Saravana Kumar, and ended up giving up wicket. After this, the Spartan found it really difficult to score runs at will. Muhammed Adnan Khan tried to get their innings back on track, but was too slow in getting his 40. Sunny Sandhu then hit a few lusty blows down the order, but it was too little too late.
