The Group F encounters of the 8th Edition of the Nagesh Trophy Men's National T20 Cricket Tournament for the Blind 2025 witnessed dominant displays from Assam and Punjab at the Punjab Agricultural University Ground on Wednesday.

In the morning fixture, Assam registered a comprehensive 53-run victory over Chhattisgarh. Batting first, Assam posted an impressive 155/2 in 20 overs, powered by a stellar 70 off 65 balls from Amlanjyoti Talukdar.

The Assam bowlers then delivered a disciplined performance to bundle out Chhattisgarh for 102, sealing a convincing win. Talukdar's all-round excellence earned him the Player of the Match award.

In the second clash of the day, Punjab continued their strong run by defeating Tripura by nine wickets. Tripura managed 129/7 in their innings, but Punjab's batters made light work of the chase.

Great to see blind cricket getting proper coverage. These athletes deserve more media attention and sponsorship. BCCI should allocate more funds for para sports.

Assam's comeback after losing to Punjab shows great character. Talukdar's performance was exceptional. Hope more states develop infrastructure for blind cricket.

While the coverage is good, I wish there were more detailed statistics available. How many boundaries, strike rates, etc. would help us appreciate the game better.
