Jalandhar Warriors pulled off one of the most spectacular chases in the Sher-E-Punjab T20 League 2026, overhauling a mammoth target of 265 with an eight-wicket win over Amritsar Soormas at the I.S. Bindra Stadium, Mohali, on Tuesday, 1 September. The match produced more than 500 runs in aggregate, with centuries from Naman Dhir and Prabhsimran Singh at the heart of an unforgettable night of batting.

Soormas Set the Tone with Record 264/5

Amritsar Soormas posted 264/5 in their 20 overs — their highest total of the tournament so far. Captain Abhishek Sharma was the early aggressor, blazing 82 off 36 balls with five fours and seven sixes, including three sixes in a single over off Gurvinder Singh Bhullar. The Soormas were flying at 79/1 at the end of the powerplay after Sahaj Dhawan fell early.

Abhishek and Dhir then constructed a blistering 151-run second-wicket partnership, putting the Warriors' bowlers firmly on the back foot. After Abhishek departed, Naman Dhir carried on relentlessly, reaching his century in just 52 balls — the milestone arrived with a towering six. He was particularly severe on Abhinav Sharma, plundering four sixes in one over that cost 33 runs. Dhir eventually fell for a dazzling 117 off 56 balls, studded with seven fours and 10 sixes. Jashanpreet Singh chipped in usefully in the closing overs to see the Soormas past 260.

Warriors' Powerplay Blitz Sets Up Remarkable Chase

Jalandhar Warriors needed an explosive start and they got one. The openers raced to 103/1 in just six overs, with captain Prabhsimran Singh leading the charge. He reached his fifty in a mere 16 balls — the fastest half-century of the tournament. Harjas Tandon provided excellent support, sharing a 109-run second-wicket stand before falling for a brisk 42 off 21 balls.

Prabhsimran's Unbeaten 125 Seals the Chase

With the required run rate comfortably in hand, Prabhsimran pressed on and brought up his century in just 41 balls. Anmol Malhotra joined him and kept the momentum alive, completing his own fifty off 19 deliveries. The pair finished the job in style, taking Warriors to 265/2 in 17.5 overs — a victory by eight wickets with 13 balls to spare.

Prabhsimran ended unbeaten on a sensational 125 off 47 balls, hitting 14 fours and eight sixes, while Malhotra remained not out on 52. The chase was completed with a ruthlessness that underlined Jalandhar Warriors' batting depth.

A Night for the Record Books in Mohali

The match stands out as one of the most entertaining encounters of the Sher-E-Punjab T20 League 2026 so far. Both sides combined for more than 500 runs, three individual fifties, and two centuries. Notably, this was also Amritsar Soormas' highest team total of the competition — yet it was not enough. The result underscores Jalandhar Warriors' formidable batting line-up and their ability to chase down any total on a flat Mohali surface.

With this victory, the Warriors will look to carry their momentum into the next fixture, while the Soormas will need to regroup and find answers with the ball.
