Musheer Khan Matches Rohit Sharma, David Warner In Marathon Duleep Trophy Knock

Undoubtedly the highlight of the first round of Duleep Trophy 2024 games has been the incredible 181 scored by Sarfaraz Khan's brother Musheer Khan for India B.

Meerut Mavericks continued their dominance and remained on top of the points table with another victory in the UP T20 2024 as they defeated the Kanpur Superstars by 22 runs via the DLS method. Having set a target of 106 in nine overs in the 20th game of the competition at the BRSABV Ekana Stadium the Mavericks bowled Kanpur out for 83 to clinch their sixth victory. A solid showing with the bat from Madhav Kaushik helped Meerut make 90 from their nine overs despite a relatively slow start. Zeeshan Ansari followed that up with a continuation of his dream run this season with a three-wicket haul in the two overs he bowled in the chase. Zeeshan's spell, which came after Ankur Malik's 13-ball 33 had given the Kanpur side the start they needed, proved to be the turning point of the game.
