Another wicket down for Warriors as Samrat is the one who makes the long walk back. Dabbangs just one wicket away from a win.

Rajiv comes into the attack and he has clean bowled danger man Vinay here. It is merely a formality, this match.

An over under 10 is great for Dabanngs. And just four overs remain now. The players need to hurry up though.

Warriors are seven down; if only they had a couple of wickets more, the target would have been more realistic.

7th wickets bites the dust. Asgar has his first wicket here. The proceedings are going rather slow here.
CCL 2026 live: Run out
16/01/2026 22:53
Samba is run out as third run out comes for Telugu. This is not good cricket. Now Dabbangs reach closer to victory
CCL 2026 live: Warriors crumbling
16/01/2026 22:40
In all likelihood, Dabbangs will have their first ever victory over the Warriors. It has been one-sided so far.

CCL 2026 live: Controversy
16/01/2026 21:43
The match has been halted. Bhojpuri Dabbangs are in a heated conversation with the umpires. They had ran Akhil out but the umpires had called the ball dead after a single was taken. Manoj Tiwari seems particularly agitated.
The match referee is talking with the captains to calm things down. And it works! The match will continue.

Unwanted delay here. Manoj Tiwari stops the ball before the boundary, and it seems Akhil was run out. There is a debate on the field if he is run out or not.
CCL 2026 live
16/01/2026 21:26
Manoj Towari starts with a wicket in the very first over. He is getting the ball to reverse right from the begining. Akhil will have to be careful. Oh, there is a appeal against him, but survives.
CCL 2026 live: Dabbangs score 155
16/01/2026 21:01
Two wickets fall in the final over only in the first two deliveries. The score is past 150 now and looks quite competitive. And the innings folds on 155/8.
CCL 2026 live: 50 for Asgar
16/01/2026 20:46
The batter has come up with 29 ball 54, as he bludgeons one for a massive six in the penultimate over. He has resurrected the Dabbangs innings.

16/01/2026 20:37
Excellent over by Ashwin comes to an end and only three runs come here. This could be big in context of the match.

16/01/2026 20:25
Sachin Joshi completes his spell. He was excellent; curtailed runs and picked up a wicket as well. Oh wait, Sachin has another wicket, as Anshuman skies the ball. Skipper Akhil takes the catch and he is ectatic.

16/01/2026 20:18
Just as one thought that the runs were starting to come, Anshuman has been removed by Samrat. A good catch in the deep.
CCL 2026 live: Boundaries needed
16/01/2026 20:11
Asgar Khan and Anshuman are starting to build a solid partnership, where singles are coming, but then when will the boundaries come?
CCL 2026 live: Run Out
16/01/2026 20:04
Dabbangs in all sorts of trouble here. A run out. Now Anshuman Rajput comes into the middle.
CCL 2026 live: OUT
16/01/2026 19:51
Second one bites the dust. Aditya has been dismissed and a great catch in the outfield. Just when the partnership was starting to look good.
CCL 2026 live
16/01/2026 19:50
Now 10 overs culminate and the score is starting to look a little better. Ram and Aditya getting boundaries.
CCL 2026 live
16/01/2026 19:46
Still a subdued start for Dabbangs. They have a lot of wickets in hand, and need to look at getting some boundaries. And Ram gets a six; finally something coming for the team.
CCL 2026 live: Samrat continues
16/01/2026 19:26
Dabbangs need to up the ante. It must be said, they are finding it tough in the middle. Also under lights, it could be a bit difficult to bat.
CCL 2026 live
16/01/2026 19:15
New bowler Samrat comes into the attack and Dabanngs need a big over here. They look under-confident for now.
CCL 2026 live
16/01/2026 19:10
Raghu starts his second over. Bhodpuri Dabbangs need a few boundaries here.
CCL 2026 live
16/01/2026 19:06
Aadi comes on to bowl now. Ram and Aditya need a big partnership.
CCL 2026 live: Manoj Tiwari OUT
16/01/2026 19:00
Bhojpuri Dabbangs captain Manoj Tiwari has walked back for 4. First strike for Telugu Warriors.
Bhojpuri Dabbangs: 4/1 after 1 over.
