For the first wicket, they put up a 93-run partnership in only 9 overs until Samarth Singh sent Goswami back to the pavilion off a Saurabh Kumar ball.

Jurel was spewing fire off his bat, completing his half-century in just 26 balls. The bowler for Noida Super King kept taking wickets at the other end, but they were unable to stop the flow of runs. The momentum changed in favor of Noida Super Kings as two quick wickets fell, and Naman Tiwari took advantage of it by dismissing set batters Jurel (85 off 48 balls) and Shivam Sharma (0) in the 18th over.

Towards the end, Yashovardhan Singh smashed an unbeaten 19 off 9 balls, while Rishav Rai scored 11 off 7 to help Gorakhpur Lions reach 182/6 in the allotted 20 overs.

While chasing the target, Noida got a healthy start and put forward an 88-run opening stand. Gorakhpur saw a comeback when they knocked out both the set openers within 11 runs and skipper Nitish Rana as well and left NSK 123 for 3 wickets down. Aditya and Prashant of Noida Super Kings produced a solid defense and offense at the same time and the match came to the last over where NSK needed 7 runs off 6 balls.

Five runs came off the first 5 balls of the over and 2 runs were needed off the last ball. Prashant Veer was on strike and Sunil Kumar delivered a perfect yorker but Prashant Veer went forward and hit cut in the gap towards deep fine leg, and the ball found the ropes in a flash for four. NSK won the match by 7 wickets.

The afternoon match between Kanpur Superstars and Meerut Mavericks was a rare one. The rain halted the contest, where Meerut batted first and posted 103 runs in just 9 overs.
