The NL Mavericks stormed into the F40 League final on the back of a captain’s performance from their skipper, Ranvir Singh Rana. In a knockout clash where nerves often get the better of players, Rana stood tall, first with the ball and then with the bat, leaving the NL Tigers with no way back.
Tigers had come into the semifinal with confidence, but Rana’s fiery spell shattered their backbone. Returning figures of 5 wickets for just 33 runs, he ripped through their batting order and ensured they were bundled out for only 138. His control, aggression, and relentless accuracy gave the Mavericks exactly the breakthrough they needed.
But Rana wasn’t done yet. When it was Mavericks’ turn to chase, their skipper walked out determined to set the tone. He launched into the bowling from the start, smashing 38 off just 24 balls, giving Mavericks a flying start and crushing any hopes of a Tigers’ fightback. That aggressive knock not only steadied the nerves but also sent a strong message ahead of the final – the Mavericks are here with intent.
Now, with their skipper leading by example, the Mavericks have all the momentum going into the grand finale. Rana’s all-round brilliance has already written a special chapter in the Mavericks’ campaign, and the team will be looking to ride on his leadership as they chase the F40 League title.
