On the flip side, UP Brij Stars suffered a tough defeat in their previous fixture. While batting first, they struggled in front of the opponent bowlers. Jitender Singh’s 29-run innings and Praveen’s 30-run innings were only the bright part. They got all out in just 95 runs. That was a huge setback. While defending the low total, legendary bowler Imran Tahir grabbed the attention with an exciting four-wicket haul. But all the efforts fell short as they faced a 4-wicket defeat.
