The Cricket Hong Kong Saturday Championship Division 2 clash at Kam Tin on February 14, 2026, delivered a dramatic finish as the DLSW Strikers edged past the SCC Lancers by just one wicket. The match was defined by the brilliance of Vir Bavishi, who not only claimed three crucial wickets with the ball but also held his nerve with an unbeaten 13 at the end to guide his side home.

Batting first, the Lancers posted 225/8 in 35 overs, built on Roopesh Patade’s 68 off 52 balls and John Dulip Kumar Jeyasingh’s 50. Despite their strong batting, the Strikers’ bowlers kept striking back, with Bavishi’s 3/28 and Pinto Harold’s 2/12 ensuring the target remained within reach.

The chase was a rollercoaster. Reshanga Goonetilleke (49) provided stability, while Siddharth Pandit (42 off 24) and Amit Kumar Nauhwar (31 off 15) added explosive contributions. Pinto Harold’s 34 further boosted the innings, but wickets fell regularly, leaving the Strikers precariously placed at 210/9.

At that moment, Bavishi stepped up once again. Already the star with the ball, he showed composure under immense pressure, striking three boundaries in his 13 not out off 18 balls. His calm presence ensured the Strikers reached 227/9 in 33.1 overs, sealing a famous one-wicket victory.

This contest will be remembered not only for its nail-biting finish but also for Vir Bavishi’s all-round heroics, which turned the tide and secured a dramatic win for the Strikers.
