JCCL 2024 Final Result & Awards: Bengal Tigers Lift Maiden Celebrity Cricket League Title
Opting to bat, Jammy (57* off 29) smashed an unbeaten fifty in the first innings to power the Tigers to 118/4 in 10 overs, while Ananda’s spell of 3 for 16 put the brakes on Bulldozers, who crawled their way to 86/7 in their first innings, conceding a lead of 32 to the opposition.
Jammy once again starred with the bat, scoring 39 off 18 in their second innings to take Bengal Tigers to 105/4 in the allotted 10 overs to set a challenging target of 138 for Bulldozers to chase in the final innings of the title clash.
For Bulldozers, Jayaram Karthik and Chandan claimed 2 for 7 figures in 2 overs in the first and second innings respectively, but the other bowlers proved costly conceding more than 10 an over to put the team on the back foot.
Ananda, who was the star for Tigers in the first innings, could not repeat his heroics in the second essay as the spinner was taken to the cleaners by Rajeev Hanu. The knock from Rajeev gave the Bulldozers some hope, but Rahul’s double strike tilted the tie once again in the Tigers’ favour.
Darling Krishna, who was the Bulldozers’ highest run-getter, looked off-colour and struggled in the crucial title clash as he registered a two-ball duck in the first innings and added only 17 off 15 balls in the second as Jammy had the last laugh to seal the victory for Tigers by restricting Bulldozers at 125/6.
