But the drama didn't end there. As the fielder recovered, and the ball was thrown towards the bowler to attempt a run-out, the fielder at the non-striker's end missed the stumps in a run out attempt and the ball went for four.
This unexpected turn resulted in six runs being awarded—four byes plus the two runs the batsmen had already taken.
Watch:
Falcon Risers Hyderabad eventually clinched a narrow six-run victory at Dadoji Kondadev Stadium. Batting first, Hyderabad struggled early, losing quick wickets and managing only 84/9 in their allotted overs.
Vishwajit Thakur played a crucial knock, scoring 26 off 19 balls, while Liton Sarkar contributed 15 off 16. Bangalore's bowlers dominated early, with Irfan Patel picking up an impressive 4/14 and Saroj Paramanik supporting with 2/6.
Hyderabad’s top order collapsed in the first two overs, with only 10 runs on the board. However, Vishwajit and Liton steadied the innings, forming a crucial 46-run partnership.
Vishwajit’s innings ended when he edged a Pritpal Singh delivery to Saroj, and Liton fell soon after, caught while attempting an aggressive shot off Irfan’s bowling.
Captain Sambhaji Patil’s late contribution pushed Hyderabad to a defendable total.
Bangalore started their chase well but lost wickets at crucial moments. Ajaz Shaikhlal Bepari was dismissed attempting a big shot, and despite maintaining a steady scoring rate, Bangalore faltered under pressure.
In the final over, Hyderabad’s Irfan Umair held his nerve, conceding only three runs while defending 10, sealing a dramatic win for his team.
