The Indian Street Premier League Season 3 playoffs ignite tonight at Lalbhai Contractor Stadium, Surat, as table-toppers Ahmedabad Lions clash with second-placed Chennai Singams in Qualifier 1.
The winner secures a direct spot in the February 6 final, while the loser will take on the winner of Eliminator between Tiigers of Kolkata and Majhi Mumbai in Qualifier 2.
Lions dominated the league stage, clinching top spot with a thrilling 2-run defense of 92/5 against Singams yesterday. Sikandarbhai Bhatti (34 off 17) and Amit Naik (29 off 17) starred, while Jignesh Patel (2/14) sealed it on the last ball. They also thrashed Singams by 20 runs in the earlier meet as well.
Singams (12 points, 6W-4L) showed fight, with Ketan Mhatre's unbeaten 54 (6x4, 2x6)
nearly pulling off yesterday's chase, but early collapses hurt them. Captain Ankur Singh leads a potent attack featuring Anurag Sarshar and Deepak Dogra. Lions' bowling edge suits the bowler-friendly Surat pitch, where scores hover around 80-100 in T10 tennis-ball action. Lions hold a strong head-to-head edge recently.
