Vaibhav Sehdev’s 25-ball knock of 57 runs went in vain as JK super Strikers lost to Royal Phantoms in a match played during the ongoing second “Sher-e-Punjab T20 Cup” being organised by the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) at the IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali on Saturday.

In reply, Strikers could score 162 runs losing eight wickets in 20 overs. Phantoms bowlers kept the pressure on from the word go. As a result they kept losing wickets at regular intervals.
