Chicago IL: Hurricanes lead by Pruthvish Patel opened their season against Chicago Phantoms who came into this game with a huge win from their previous matchup with Destroyers.

Salman who is known to open on mostly all the teams that he has played on could not hold his end for more than 4 balls. Jasim Sajjad managed to get another wicket right after by taking Sargam Patel for a duck. Samir Chaudhari sunk his teeth into the attack when he took out the left hander Jay Patel for a duck soon after.

This gave Dhairya the stand he was looking for until his next partner Neel came in who actually watched Dhairya score fifty runs from the non-striker’s end. Prakshesh Patel and Neel Patel had the next best partnership of forty three runs and the Hurricanes managed to get their total up to 196 runs at the loss of 9 wickets. Samir
