Returning from the Emerging Men\u2019s Tournament for this contest, K. Himateja joined forces with Mickil Jaiswal to steady the innings, absorbing the pressure before shifting gears. They smashed 16 runs off Shanmukha Ashwin in the 11th over and brought up a 50-run stand in just 36 balls, only for a 30-minute floodlight failure to halt their momentum.<\/p>\n<p><b>ALSO READ | <a href=\"https:\/\/sportstar.thehindu.com\/cricket\/hyderabad-cricket-association-appoints-wasim-jaffer-mentor-two-years-details-infrastructure-projects-ambati-rayudu-announcements\/article71162442.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hyderabad ropes in Wasim Jaffer as mentor for two-year term<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Undeterred when play resumed, Mickil raced to a 31-ball half-century and looked set to power Aces to a formidable total. But Yashveer Goud swung the contest back, breaking the 94-run partnership by dismissing Himateja before removing C.V. Milind for a duck. Mickil\u2019s fluent 39-ball 65 ended against a slower delivery, and Aces limped to 157 for eight.<\/p>\n<p>Any hopes of defending that total quickly evaporated. A string of dropped chances only hastened Aces\u2019 downfall as Abhirath Reddy and Shanmukha Ashwin punished every error, stitching together a fluent 37-ball 62-run stand that effectively settled the contest.<\/p>\n<p>Even after they departed, there was no way back for Aces.
