A 4^thwicket stand of 41 runs between Ashish (32) and Gitansh Khera (36) and another stand of 34  for the 6^th wicket between Himanshu Shelly (40) and Rahul Singla (10) were the only saving graces for the Ludhiana team. Himanshu Shally used the long handle effectively as he plundered 40 off 36 balls with the help of one boundary and five lofty sixes as wickets kept on falling regularly at the other end.  Himanshu was particularly severe on off spinner Ankur Jund who went for 63 off 10 overs capturing 3 wickets in the process.
