Charaideo Sunrisers produced a dominant all-round display to beat Jorhat Stallions by seven wickets in Match 25 of the Assam Premier League (APL) 2026 at the ACA Stadium, Guwahati, on Thursday, 13 August 2026. Chasing a modest 129, Sunrisers knocked off the target in just 14.3 overs, finishing at 130/3 to climb to fifth place on the points table.
Dipak Dismantles Stallions in the First Innings
Reshabh Dipak was the wrecker-in-chief with the ball, returning career-defining figures of 4/18 to keep Jorhat Stallions well in check. Sunrisers, having elected to field, struck early — removing Erik Roy cheaply before Aditya Roy Chowdhury followed soon after, reducing Stallions to a precarious 25/2.
Swarupam Purkayastha top-scored with 28 off 24 balls, providing some resistance in the middle order, before falling to Dipak. Rajveer Singh chipped in with 22, and Dyutimoy Nath offered a brief flourish with 19 off just 7 balls, but both departed within two overs of each other, draining Stallions of momentum. The lower order scrambled Jorhat to a modest 128/8 in their allotted 20 overs.
Dibakar Johori claimed 2/24 in support, while Himanshu Saraswat and Abhishek Kumar Sing each contributed one wicket apiece.
Ghadigaonkar Anchors the Chase
Sunrisers' reply was built on a solid foundation as the openers stitched together a 58-run stand. Pradyun Saikia set the tone with a brisk 25 off 20 balls before being bowled by Dyutimoy Nath. Brief wobbles followed as Hrishikesh Tamuli and Kalam Reja both fell cheaply, giving Stallions a fleeting glimmer of hope.
But skipper Sumit Ghadigaonkar held firm throughout, finishing unbeaten on 56 off 44 balls, laced with five fours and two sixes. His composed knock ensured the chase never went off the rails.
Dipak's Stunning Cameo Seals the Deal
Dipak, already the standout bowler of the match, capped a remarkable individual performance with a brutal late cameo — smashing an unbeaten 34 off just 11 balls, including four sixes, to finish the contest emphatically. Charaideo Sunrisers crossed the line at 130/3 in 14.3 overs, completing a comprehensive victory.
For Stallions, Dyutimoy Nath took 2/27 and Abhilash Gogoi claimed 1/22, but the bowling attack had little to work with given the modest first-innings total.
Brief Scores
Jorhat Stallions: 128/8 in 20 overs (Swarupam Purkayastha 28, Rajveer Singh 22; Reshabh Dipak 4/18, Dibakar Johori 2/24).
Charaideo Sunrisers: 130/3 in 14.3 overs (Sumit Ghadigaonkar 56*, Reshabh Dipak 34*; Dyutimoy Nath 2/27, Abhilash Gogoi 1/22).
Result: Charaideo Sunrisers beat Jorhat Stallions by 7 wickets. Sunrisers move to fifth place on the APL 2026 points table, with momentum building ahead of the tournament's latter stages.
Point of View
And their lower order can accelerate at will. For Jorhat Stallions, 128/8 was never a defendable total on this surface, and the inability to post 150-plus in 20 overs points to a middle-order fragility that opponents will keep targeting. The APL 2026 table is tight enough that this win — and the net run rate boost it brings — could matter come knockout time.
