Both sides secured two crucial points each with close finishes that went down to the wire.
Match 1: Super Kings Edge Titans via DLS
Koylanchal Super Kings were cruising at 142/3 in 16.4 overs when heavy rain halted play. Sharandeep Singh Bhatia anchored the innings with a composed 74 not out off 50 balls, while Robin Minz chipped in with a handy 21. When play resumed, the Ranchi Titans were handed a revised DLS target of 82 runs in 7 overs.
The Titans mounted a spirited chase but fell 3 runs short, finishing at 78/4. Shrestha (28*) and Satya Setu (28) were the primary contributors in the chase. Harsh Raj claimed the Player of the Match award for his match-turning spell of 3/18, which effectively sealed the contest for the Super Kings.
Match 2: Royals Seal Thriller on Final Ball
Santhal Strikers batted first and posted a competitive 168/8, with Sumit Kumar leading the batting charge with a solid 60, supported by Kumar Suraj. However, the Strikers' innings was punctuated by a historic moment — Suprieyo Chakraborty of the Royals registered the first hat-trick in Jharkhand T20 League history, finishing with remarkable figures of 4/25 in 4 overs to earn the Player of the Match award.
Chasing 169, the Chota Nagpur Royals relied on fluent half-centuries from Virat Singh (51) and Avinash Kumar (54) to keep the run-rate in check. Mohit Kumar's vital cameo of 35 off 26 balls provided the late acceleration required, and the Royals crossed the line on the final ball, finishing at 172/7 to seal a 3-wicket win.
Key Performances of the Day
The day belonged equally to the batters and the bowlers. Bhatia's unbeaten half-century under pressure and Chakraborty's historic hat-trick were the standout individual contributions. Notably, Chakraborty's feat is the first hat-trick recorded in the Jharkhand T20 League, adding a milestone to what was already a high-drama day of cricket.
What's Next
With both winners now on the points table, the Jharkhand T20 Cricket League continues to take shape. The results from Day 4 tighten the competition and raise the stakes for upcoming fixtures at the JSCA International Stadium Complex.
Point of View
Claimed by Suprieyo Chakraborty in just the tournament's early stages. Domestic T20 leagues outside the IPL often struggle for narrative hooks; a historic hat-trick in a last-ball thriller is exactly the kind of moment that builds a competition's identity. Both matches also exposed the volatility of DLS-revised targets in short formats, a recurring debate in rain-affected domestic cricket that seldom gets the scrutiny it deserves.
