The U17 Premier League clash between KCC Hurricanes and DLSW Tigers at TKRRG on January 1, 2026, proved to be a one-sided affair as the Tigers showcased their superiority with both bat and ball. Winning the toss and opting to bowl first, DLSW’s attack quickly dismantled the Hurricanes’ batting lineup. Only Will Walsh, with a fluent 30 off 26 balls, and Sahaj Dhameliya, who fought hard for 23 off 42, offered resistance as wickets fell regularly. Extras contributed 14 runs, but the Hurricanes were bowled out for just 92 in 21.5 overs. The standout performance came from Pransh Vimal Kalathiya, who delivered a devastating spell of 5 for 18, supported by Araham Binakiya’s economical 2 for 5.

In reply, the Tigers’ openers made light work of the chase. Captain Preet Mangukiya led from the front with a composed 44 off 41 balls, while Chanchad Shrey matched his partner with 39 off 37. Their unbeaten partnership ensured the target was reached in only 12.2 overs without the loss of a wicket. The emphatic ten-wicket win underlined the Tigers’ dominance, with Kalathiya’s five-wicket haul and the openers’ assured batting sealing a comprehensive victory. The Hurricanes will look to regroup after a tough outing, while the Tigers have sent a strong message to the rest of the competition with this commanding performance.
