Priyansh Arya's Blazing 101* Powers DY Patil Red to DY Patil T20 Quarterfinals

Arya was in splendid touch as he slammed eight boundaries and nine sixes as he reached his hundred off just 40 balls. Arya's supreme form helped DY Patil Red romp home in just 12.1 overs as they chased down CGST's 149 for five to finish on 150 for two.

Arya's effort helped DY Patil Red set up a quarterfinal clash against DTDC on Wednesday afternoon. DY Patil Red skipper Krunal Pandya was the other star with the ball, picking up two for 22, while left-arm seamer Naman Tiwari (2-27) and Prince Badiani (0-19) also bowled tight spells on Monday night.

On Monday evening, DTDC beat CGST by 37 runs despite a fine all-round performance by Sanvir Singh (2-35 & 71).

Earlier, Vidarbha batter Danish Malewar's fluent 64 off 42 balls led Reliance to a nail-biting one-run victory over Bank of Baroda. Malewar, who will turn out for the Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026, struck nine fours in his brisk half-century as Reliance posted a competitive 197/6 in their 20 overs. Ajay Ahlawat was the pick of the Bank of Baroda bowlers, returning figures of 2-31 to keep Reliance in check during the middle overs, though it proved insufficient to prevent the eventual defeat.
