During the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2023 quarterfinals, Rinku Singh contributed to Uttar Pradesh’s 169/3 score with yet another outstanding knock on Thursday. Rinku Singh struck at a strike rate of 233.33, smashing 33 runs without a loss off 77 balls.
The 26-year-old southpaw’s knock featured four hundreds and six sixes, and he and Sameer Rizvi (42* off 29) built an undefeated 116-run stand from 55 balls over the fourth wicket.
After 18 overs, Rinku Singh had scored on 38 from 21, but Siddarth Kaul raised the stakes in the 19th over. He took two doubles as well as a single after hitting two maximums off the first two balls. The Punjab bowler and India star Arshdeep Singh was then struck for three sixes by the Uttar Pradesh (UP) batsman in the last over.
Rinku has performed flawlessly in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2023 as a finisher. 22*,15, 3, 58*, 50*, 31*, and 77* are his scores. In seven games, he has amassed 256 runs with an average of 85.33 as well as an incredible strike rate of 170.66.
However, this innings was not enough for Uttar Pradesh to reach the semi finals. Punjab batters performed exceptionally well to take their side home in the quarter finals of the SMAT 2023.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar shines with the ball but UP gets knocked out
The entire world has been watching India’s performance at the 2023 World Cup for the past four weeks. In the midst of the massive tournament taking place in India, one of their dropped fast bowlers is using his whole expertise to light up the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy. Without a question, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has excelled throughout the competition.
Right now, Bhuvneshwar is ranked second among the tournament’s top wicket-takers. In seven games, the pacer has taken 16 wickets with an economy rate of 5.67. To put it simply, his strikeout and average rates of 8.68 along with 9.18 are astounding. He took two wickets in the quarterfinals as well but that was not enough to defend their side’s total.

Guy has some serious big hitting abilities. He needs to be handled very carefully and injected into main playing XI

Great batting by Rinku Singh
I would like to add that Mumbai lost to Baroda and the most astonishing stats is that they did not cross 150 in any of their innings while batting first this season of SMA.— murad (@muraddhanani48) November 2, 2023
