The Superstarz began the chase on a blistering note but were left reeling at 123 for five in 15 overs and were four runs short as per the DLS score, when the play ended due to rain and owing the cut-off time.

For the Superstarz, Priyansh Arya (25 off nine balls) smacked 16 runs in the opening over, but Saurabh Deswal endured a golden duck after being dismissed by Saksham Gahlot in the next.

Ayush Badoni (30 off 7 balls) pummelled four sixes in the same over to take his team to 40 for two after the second over.

Badoni fell after having smashed a total five sixes, whereas the Superstarz managed 70 runs in the powerplay, post which they lost a couple of more wickets quickly.
