Akash played a crucial supporting role, contributing a well-earned 45 runs from 32 balls. The duo’s formidable partnership of 77 runs threatened to completely seize the game away from the Hurricanes.

With 37 runs required off the last four overs, the Hurricanes seemed within striking distance. However, their lower order faltered under the mounting pressure, ultimately falling short by 13 runs.
