India Green 238 for 8 (Harbhajan 49*, Kaif 41) tied with India Red 238 (Chawla 92, Harbhajan 3-37, Abdulla 3-37)
Piyush Chawla was run out off what twisted out to be the last ball of a staged final, as India Red matched India Green's score of 238 to share the NKP Salve Challenger Trophy.
India Red were out of the game when they misplaced their fifth wicket in the 23rd over with just 102 on the board, but Chawla held the lower order jointly and whittle down the target. When Bhargav Bhatt was ninth out, they still wanted 26 off 16 balls, and Chawla's dare-devilry approximately got them over the line.
The match boiled down to the last over with Chawla chasing 17 off left-arm seamer Samad Fallah, who was lasting an unpleasant night. A dot ball, a slog pair and a wide summary it to 14 off 4, with Chawla having to hit a border to keep on in the game.
He respond by loft Fallah over mid-off to make it 10 off 3, before nearly two more all the way through long-on. Fallah's last but one ball was fuller on off stump, and Chawla launched it over the sightscreen for a six that made India Red favorites for the first time in the last district of the game.
With two desired off the last ball, Chawla was set on running, in spite of of what happen. As it transpires, Fallah bowled a wide down the leg side. The non-striker Jaydev Unadkat correctly declines the single but Chawla had exciting across to the bowler's end, allowing CM Gautam to break the stump and tie the game.
The ending was suggestive of the finish to an India-Zimbabwe ODI in 1997, when Robin Singh was the last man out off a wide, which left the scores level. The finish also had similarity to the famous tie connecting Lance Klusener and Allan Donald in the 1999 World Cup semi-final against Australia.
That such an electric end was likely was down to Chawla's second score in the 90s in a century-less List-A career. By the time he took guard, Abhimanyu Mithun and Harbhajan Singh had made incision during the top order to push the chase into freefall. Chawla kept fighting, though Iqbal Abdulla kept arresting at the other end.
Chawla work the fields to move to 40 off 48 balls by the end of 40 overs before step up. His first six came off T Suman in the 41st over, and he begins to goal Fallah towards the closing stages, picking up two fours in the 46th over. Bhatt's way out in the 48th left India Green a wicket away from victory, but Chawla required them to share the trophy.
India Green's batting attempt was a regularly up-and-down matter on a pitch that obtainable spins and bounces. S Anirudha and Mohammad Kaif were the only top-order batsmen to come to terms with the surface, before a triple-strike from the seamers in the middle overs abridged India Green from 134 for 3 to 151 for 6. Harbhajan Singh hauls his side out of the sadness with a accountable innings, where he overcame his tendency for flashy strokes.
Tail-enders Sumit Narwal, Abdulla and Abhimanyu Mithun played approximately Harbhajan, who made an unbeaten 49 off 54 balls despite not slog till the very end. The headlines, however, were stolen by the batting hard work of an opposition spinner.
