Until now, the Indian Warriors had been unbeaten in the league, securing three consecutive wins and holding the top position. However, in today’s first match, Trans Titans handed them a 5-wicket defeat.

Trans Titans won the toss and opted to bowl first, a decision that proved spot on. Batting first for Indian Warriors, captain Priyank Panchal continued his excellent form, smashing 69 runs off just 39 balls with 5 fours and 5 sixes.
