Blazing Bulls Clinch Thriller Against RIT Cricket
In a tightly contested T20 showdown at the RIT Cricket Ground, Blazing Bulls emerged victorious, defeating RIT Cricket by 4 wickets with 4 balls to spare, thanks to a composed chase and a match-winning performance by Upul Abeywickrama.

But RIT Cricket fought back in the middle overs with a brilliant spell by John, who picked up 2 key wickets, and Vikram, who chipped in with 1 wicket, building pressure and dragging the match into the final overs.
Cherian added to the drama by claiming 2 wickets, keeping RIT's hopes alive. However, Blazing Bulls showed nerves of steel, and with calculated aggression, they chased down the target in 19.2 overs, finishing at 149/6.
