Atal Bihari Rai: Noida Kings’ disastrous season in the 2024 UP T20 ended with another defeat as Kashi Rudras sealed off their fifth win of the competition. In the final group game of the tournament for both teams, the Rudras eased to a whopping 79-run victory over Noida at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow.

Needing to defend 169 to seal a much-needed win to qualify for the playoffs, Kashi bowled Noida out for 88 thanks to a brilliant concerted bowling performance. Earlier, Kashi Rudras did not make the greatest of starts to their batting innings, losing their first three wickets by the end of the fourth over.

The way they batted in that initial phase it looked like there was a touch of over-aggression even when the ball wasn’t coming on to the bat. Shiva Singh was the first to depart and Almas Shaukat followed suit in the very next over trying to hit it on the up.
