Kannur Squad’s innings was a masterclass in controlled aggression. Openers Sameer Koyanji and Abdul Rahman set the tone early, with Abdul’s 39 off 19 balls igniting the scoreboard. Sheethal VS then played an elegant hand of 50 (37), mixing timing and temperament perfectly. The highlight, however, came from Vishnu S, who turned the game into a highlight reel of six-hitting mayhem. His unbeaten 77 off just 34 balls—studded with 7 towering sixes—was the kind of knock that defines exhibition cricket. Captain Vinu Vijayan chipped in with a brisk cameo, guiding Kannur to a mammoth 205/4 in their 20 overs. The Sailors’ bowlers had a rough night, with Mohamed Khalid and Yuvraj Barua going for over 13 an over, as Kannur’s batting unit fired on all cylinders.

In reply, Crazy XI Kollam Sailors never found their footing. Right from the first over, the fiery Bivin Vijayan tore through their lineup with a sensational five-wicket haul, conceding just 26 runs. His spell was pure theatre—sharp, accurate, and unrelenting. The top order folded quickly, with the score reading 18/3 in no time. Brief resistance came from Senthil (20 off 21) and Yuvraj Barua (26 off 10), whose counterattacking strokes briefly lit up the innings, but it wasn’t enough to stem the collapse. Syed Ashiq’s deadly spell at the end—three wickets for just three runs—sealed the deal, wrapping up the Sailors for 95 in 16.5 overs.
