Challenger won the toss and elected to have a bat first.

Openers Dhruv N Patel and Aayush Rai got their team off to a wonderful start as they stitched a partnership of 66 runs for the first wicket. Once Aayush Rai got out, Patel held one end intact and kept finding the gaps at ease. Dhruv N Patel made an impressive 59 off 47 balls. Apart from Yashwardhan Singh, none of the other middle order batters posed any threat to the opposition bowlers and Challenger could only reach a modest total of 157 for 9 in 20 overs.

Chasing 157, Gladiators lost Amit Passi in the first over of the innings. His wicket was followed by the unfortunate runout of Kinit Patel. Shlok Desai was the next one to follow the suit and Gladiators were struggling at 21 for 3.
