VALIANTS CRICKET CLUB produced another commanding performance to complete a memorable double over Crystal Strikers, securing a convincing 38-run victory in this exciting 20-over encounter.

Batting first after Crystal Strikers elected to field, Valiants came out with positive intent from the very beginning.

Playing fearless cricket, he smashed 79 runs from just 40 deliveries, peppering the boundary ropes with 10 fours and 5 sixes at a stunning strike rate of 197.50.

While wickets fell around him, Chamath ensured the scoreboard kept moving. Demitha Madushanka played the perfect supporting role with a composed 41 from 36 balls, helping Valiants build a strong platform. Despite a late collapse that saw the final six wickets fall for just 38 runs, Valiants still managed to post a challenging 160 all out in 19.5 overs.

Crystal Strikers fought hard with the ball, led by Ashel's outstanding spell of 5 wickets for 17 runs. James Miller claimed two wickets, while Amidu Lakshan also picked up a pair, but Chamath's explosive innings had already given Valiants a significant advantage.

Chasing 161, Crystal Strikers started aggressively, with Afrath blasting 26 off only 13 deliveries and B. Indrajan launching a counterattack with a powerful 39 from 23 balls. For a brief period, the match looked evenly balanced as the required rate remained within reach.

However, Valiants' bowlers responded brilliantly.

Thevindu Waduge delivered the breakthrough spell that turned the game on its head. His four-wicket haul ripped through the middle order and halted Crystal Strikers' momentum. Anjana Mahawatte provided crucial support with two wickets, while Kasun Mihiranga, Duminda Ferdinandis, Demitha Madushanka, and W Sajitha all contributed with important breakthroughs.
