💥 Golden Gate CC Unleashes Fireworks with the Bat

Golden Gate CC stepped onto the field with purpose — and left with a reputation. Electing to bat first, they delivered a batting masterclass, smashing their way to a towering 246/6 in 20 overs. From the very first over, the tone was set: aggression, dominance, and no mercy.

🐎 Dark Horse Rises — But Not Enough to Conquer

In response to the monstrous target, Dark Horse put up a spirited chase. Unlike many teams that crumble under scoreboard pressure, they fought valiantly, finishing at 195/4 in 20 overs. While they maintained a respectable run rate, the required acceleration never quite arrived.

• Smart bowling changes and tight fielding by Golden Gate kept them at bay.

• Dark Horse kept wickets in hand but couldn’t shift into top gear when it mattered most.
