Overview

  • A collision between Vicky Ostwal and Siddhesh Veer midway through a run attempt handed Kolhapur Tuskers a rare opportunity for a run-out.
  • Kolhapur fielders compounded the error by throwing to the bowler instead of the stumps, fumbling the return, and missing a direct hit that rolled for an overthrow boundary.
  • Riding his reprieve, Ostwal anchored the chase with an unbeaten 74 off 54 balls to guide Raigad Royals to 165/4 in 19.4 overs.
  • Kolhapur’s 164/7 total featured Ankit Bawne’s 57 off 50 balls and was undermined by Nikhil Kadam’s three wickets for the Royals.
  • The viral run-out sequence dominated social media and the Royals now prepare to face Puneri Bappa in Qualifier 2 for a spot in the grand final.
