Wed Nov 27 21:51:38 UTC 2024: ## Jammu & Kashmir Clinches Record Victory in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy
**Mumbai, India:** In a stunning upset during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024, Jammu & Kashmir secured the tournament’s largest ever victory by balls remaining, defeating Arunachal Pradesh by 10 wickets in a match that barely lasted 10 overs.
Arunachal Pradesh, electing to bat first at the Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy, BKC, Mumbai, crumbled to a paltry 32 runs in just 9.1 overs. No batsman reached double figures, with Abhishek Pujari’s unbeaten 5 the top score. Abid Mushtaq spearheaded Jammu & Kashmir’s bowling attack, claiming 4 wickets. This is the second-lowest total in the history of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, narrowly avoiding matching Tripura’s record of 30 runs in 2009.
The minuscule total set a minuscule target of 33 for Jammu & Kashmir, which they chased down in a mere 3 overs, losing no wickets. Yudhveer Singh led the charge with an unbeaten 21 off 11 balls. The victory, achieved with 102 balls remaining, surpasses the previous record held by Jharkhand’s win over Tripura in 2009. This match marks a significant low point for Arunachal Pradesh and a memorable high for Jammu & Kashmir in the ongoing domestic T20 tournament.
