Gill shines before Abhishek Sharma wins the battle
Gill’s 67 included an entertaining mini-battle with Abhishek Sharma. The Fazilka captain attacked the left-arm spinner in the 10th over, smashing him for two sixes and a four before Abhishek had the final say with the last ball of the over. Gill attempted another big shot off a short delivery but failed to clear the boundary and was caught by Naman Dhir in the deep.
Fazilka eventually posted 191/6, with Sanvir Singh and Pranshu Pratap also scoring 40 each. However, Amritsar chased down the target in 19.3 overs to win by four wickets. Abhishek was the star of the chase, smashing 49 off just 15 balls and taking two wickets to claim the Player of the Match award.
