In a thrilling match at the Lalbhai Contractor Stadium on Tuesday, Falcon Risers Hyderabad secured a convincing 6-wicket win against Srinagar Ke Veer in the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) Season 3, thanks to an outstanding hat-trick performance by Vicky Bhoir.

Hyderabad was tasked with chasing a modest score of 49 runs, which they accomplished in just 6.5 overs, finishing at 52/4. The highlight of the match was Vicky Bhoir's remarkable bowling, where he dismantled the Srinagar batting lineup in the second over, taking three wickets in consecutive deliveries. He first bowled out Aryan Naik (6), followed by Mangesh Vaity, who was dismissed for a golden duck, and then trapped Arvind Kumar lbw on the last ball of the over, achieving a memorable hat-trick. This left Srinagar in a precarious position at 6/3.

Srinagar Ke Veer struggled to recover from this early setback. Amol Nilugade tried to stabilize the innings with a score of 16 runs off 16 balls before retiring out, but wickets continued to fall. Dhananjay Bhintade added 8 runs, while extras contributed 6 runs, making it the next highest score. The Hyderabad bowlers maintained their discipline, with Bhoir finishing with figures of 3/10, supported by Parveen Kumar (1/14) and Akash Gautam (0/0 in 1 over). Ultimately, Srinagar managed to score only 48 runs for 8 wickets in their allotted 10 overs.

In response, Falcon Risers Hyderabad started aggressively. Opener Prashant Gharat set the pace with a rapid 21 runs off just 11 balls, including three sixes. Although Dilip Binjwa from Srinagar provided a brief moment of hope by taking out both Sanskar Dhyani (12) and Yogesh Penkar (2) in his only over (2/9), the target was too small to defend. Despite losing four wickets, including a quick 6 from Pappu Todkar, Hyderabad maintained control. Unbeaten batsmen Nitin Anili Matunge (7*) and Rutik Gajar (5*) led the team to victory with 19 balls remaining, earning vital points in the league standings.

On Wednesday, Bengaluru Strikers are set to face off against Ahmedabad Lions.

Falcon Risers Hyderabad 52/4 in 6.5 overs (Prashant Gharat 21, Sanskar Dhyani 12, Dilip Binjwa 2-9) defeated Srinagar Ke Veer 48/8 in 10 overs (Amol Nilugade 16, Dhananjay Bhintade 8, Vicky Bhoir 3-10) by 6 wickets.
