Mohammad Wasim’s explosive batting masterclass, featuring 11 boundaries, guided the Warriors to a dominant 7-wicket triumph against the Riders in an electrifying BPL encounter that had spectators on the edge of their seats.
Opting to bat, the Riders started aggressively, racing to 50 without loss in the powerplay. However, the Warriors’ bowlers struck back with timely breakthroughs, restricting the opposition to 180/6. Key contributions came from the Riders’ middle order, but they couldn’t build on the start, losing wickets in clusters.
In reply, the Warriors were clinical. After a shaky start at 25/1, Wasim walked in and took control. His aggressive approach dismantled the Riders’ bowling unit. Sixes flew over the ropes at will, complemented by perfectly timed fours. Reaching his half-century in a flash, Wasim’s unbeaten knock ensured the chase was a procession.
The partnership with the lower order added gloss to the victory, finishing the job with 5 overs remaining. This performance not only secures two vital points for the Warriors but also sends a strong message to rivals.
Post-match, Wasim credited team strategy and pitch conditions for his success. As BPL intensifies, expect more fireworks from this destructive batsman.
