Guwahati, August 19 2026: Guwahati Royals kept their campaign firmly on track with a convincing 30-run victory over Charaideo Sunrisers in match number 37 of the Imperial Blue Packaged Drinking Water Assam Premier League 2026 at the ACA Stadium, Guwahati on Wednesday. With this result, Barak Legends also confirmed their spot in the semi-final as Sunrisers got knocked out of the tournament.
Rohit Sen’s blistering 96 at the top of the order set up a commanding total for Royals, before Bastab Roy’s superb four-wicket haul with the ball helped restrict Sunrisers well short of the target. Manash Jyoti Gogoi fought hard for the chasing side with a well-made 32, but couldn’t quite get his side over the line.
Opting to field, Rohit Sen and Sanjay Kumar Singh put on 38 for the opening stand for Sunrisers before Singh fell for 9 in the fifth over. Rohit then anchored the innings, sharing useful stands with captain Rishav Das (21) and Nibir Deka (30), before cutting loose in the closing overs.
Rohit produced some exquisite strokes to notch 96 off just 57 balls, laced with six fours and eight sixes, and eventually fell as Royals surged to 159 for 4 in the 18th over. Nipan Deka fell for a duck soon after, but a late flourish from Gunjan Jyoti Deka, unbeaten on 19 off just 6 balls took his side to a formidable 182/5. Reshabh Dipak was the pick of the bowlers for Charaideo Sunrisers with 3/34, while Himanshu Saraswat and Amlan Jyoti Das picked up a wicket apiece.
In response, Sunrisers got off to a solid start through captain Sumit Ghadigaonkar and Hrishikesh Tamuli, who put on 53 for the opening stand. Tamuli continued positively despite losing his partner, striking 32 off just 21 balls with three fours and two sixes, before falling to leave Sunrisers 59/2. Reshabh and Soumya Kanti Paul then added some quick runs, with Paul striking 23 off just 10 balls, but regular wickets kept the required rate climbing. Manash Jyoti Gogoi fought hard in the middle overs, striking 32 off 21 balls, but wickets kept tumbling at the other end.
Bastab proved the difference for Royals, picking up four wickets in a superb spell of 4/21 to wrap up the chase, while Rupesh Chetry and Deepak Gohain picked up two wickets apiece. Raj Agarwal and Nipan Deka chipped in with one wicket each as Charaideo Sunrisers were eventually bowled out for 152 in the 18th over, falling 30 runs short of the target.
