Chasing 193, Legends 2.0 started with authority. Jibs set the tone with a crisp 47 off 28 balls, striking nine boundaries and dismantling the new-ball pair. Shibu Backer followed with a quickfire 28, pushing Legends past 70 inside the seventh over. The real grip on the chase came from Saeed Chithari, who remained unbeaten on 53 off 33 balls, pacing the innings with assurance, rotating strike, and punishing anything loose. He found the perfect partner in Shiyad Meleveetill, whose blistering 35 off just 19 balls (3 fours, 2 sixes) broke the back of the target. By the time Shiyad departed at 145/3, Legends needed only control — and captain Sajeesh Babu ensured a smooth finish with a calm unbeaten 15 as the team reached 197/3 in 18.2 overs.

Splendid CC’s bowlers struggled to build pressure as boundaries flowed consistently. Aneesh, Deepu, and Vishu Raj managed one wicket each, but the attack lacked the breakthroughs required to stop Legends’ momentum. Too many balls fell in hitting zones, and Legends capitalised emphatically, showing superior game management and impeccable temperament in a high-stakes chase. It was a clinical batting display, built on sharp execution rather than risk.
