ARP vs UP – Utter Pradesh’s slaughter stunned Arunachal Pradesh

Games can sometimes swing from a close contest to a complete one-sided slaughter in just a snap, and Uttar Pradesh showed exactly what that looks like. They handed their opponents a massive 156-run defeat, batting first and piling up 242, leaving Arunachal Pradesh needing almost triple their eventual 86 to stand a chance. At first, 21 for 1 looked like a regular start, but when the score raced to 161 for 2, Priyam Garg and Aryan Juyal appeared immovable. With the ball, captain Bhuvneshwar Kumar kept an economy of just 0.5 while the team average was 4.3. For Arunachal Pradesh, there were hardly any scoring opportunities, and the accuracy of UP’s attack left no room for hope.

ARP vs UP – 161-2 was not fair for ARP to ever beat

By just losing 4 wickets total, Utter Pradesh was showing off their ability to dominate the game from start to end. They started slowly, 21-1 seem harmless, but next 161-2 was meaningful. Arunachal Pradesh first smashed 75 runs off 40 balls in the open order, and Priyam Garg decided to style the runs by 81 off 43 to add on the leads, while already putting the game far behind Arunachal Pradesh’s range, Sameer Rizvi and Rinku Singh’s not out combined 62 runs kinda like playing their opponents in their palm. With complete control of the whole game, Utter Pradesh remain unbeatable in the series, gaining their fourth win in the C group.

ARP vs UP – New faces need more experience

Arunachal Pradesh may not match Uttar Pradesh’s power right now, but their participation in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy is still vital. These tough matches give their younger players the exposure and experience needed to grow. Facing hitters like Aryan Juyal and Priyam Garg, who scored 75 and 81 at strike rates above 185, was a trial by fire. Their bowlers did fight back, with Nabam Tempol striking twice and Nabam Abo and Lalit Kumar picking one wicket each, showing flashes of skill against a dominant lineup. Losses like this will sting, but they also lay the foundation for progress in the seasons ahead.

ARP vs UP – Priyam Garg and Aryan Juyal decided the results already

The batting partnership between Priyam Garg and Aryan Juyal decided the match early, as they combined for 156 runs. By the time they were dismissed, the scoreboard showed 161 for 2, leaving little hope of a comeback. Sameer Rizvi and Rinku Singh’s unbeaten 62 piled on the pressure, both striking at above 200. Though Arunachal Pradesh bowlers conceded heavily, Lalit Kumar gave away 61 and Toko Techir 44, they still showed determination. Occasional breakthroughs reflected their willingness to compete. Uttar Pradesh, however, had already seized control, and the balance of their batting order proved unstoppable.
