Clinical Bowling Seals Victory for Singapore
Chasing a target of 140 for victory, China struggled to find any rhythm against a disciplined Singapore attack. Despite a steady start, the chase never gained the required momentum to challenge the target. The turning point of the second innings occurred in the 12th over when Du Jianyao fell with the team score at 47, effectively stalling any hopes of a late-order surge. Du Jianhao top-scored for China with 32 runs off 44 balls, but the lack of support from the rest of the order left them well short of the required run rate. By the time the overs expired, China had managed only 89/6. Singapore’s ability to defend a modest total highlighted their composure under pressure, with Manpreet Singh and Tian Sen Qun earning recognition for their individual contributions during the contest. The result marks a significant win for Singapore in the ongoing qualifier series.
