In the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2023 (SMAT 2023), Riyan Parag continued his red-hot form with the bat on Friday (October 27). He became first cricketer to score six consecutive half-centuries in T20 cricket.. Amidst the competition, the right-handed batsman amassed an additional fifty during an unbeaten fifty-seven for Assam against Kerala.
When given the opportunity to begin the innings, Kerala managed to amass a meager 127 for 6 in the allotted 20 overs. They were floundering at 63 for 6 at one point prior to Abdul Basith and Sachin Baby's unbeaten 64-run stand, which lifted them to a respectable total. Basith led his team in scoring with 46. Mrinmoy Dutta and Avinov Choudhury each captured two wickets for the Assam team.
Assam, in response, also got off to a dismal start and were reeling at 48 for 3. They were eight batsmen down for 101 runs and continued to lose at crucial intervals. Nevertheless, Riyan Parag maintained his composure at one end and contributed to his team's arduous victory with an unblemished fifty. His match-winning innings of 57 runs was comprised of 33 deliveries and included one four and six sixes.
