Sardar Patel Vidyalaya gave themselves an outside chance of making it to the knockout stage of the 1st Fast Trax Daredevils Cup with a huge nine-wicket over against Air Force Bal Bharti School on Tuesday.

Chasing 85 for the win, SPV got to the target with 9.3 overs to spare and lift their run-rate from two games to 6.35 runs an over.
Satdar Patel will now hope BBAFS (run rate 4.20 from one match) turn the tables on Frank Anthony Public School (5.85) so that it can sneak through to the last 16 stage on the basis of the best run rate among the three teams.
FAPS can, of course, put paid to such hopes by winning that match.
Cambridge Foundation School scored a comfortable 53-run victory over MR Vivekananda School with Harshit Joshi doing the star turn.
The teams were playing for pride after Bal Bhavan International School had already nailed the pre-quarterfinal slot from Group E with victories over Cambridge Foundation School by 45 runs and MR Vivekananda School by eight wickets.

Scores
Group E: Cambridge Foundation School 185/7 in 20 overs (Harshit Joshi 42, Sahil Kumar 31, Manosh Kumar 43, Shailender Singh 3/21, Pradeep Kumar 2/35) bt MR Vivekananda School 132/7 in 20 overs (Vineet Kumar 35, Harshit Joshi 2/8).
Group K: Air Force Bal Bharti School 84 in 18.3 overs (Udit Goel 31, Devyanshu Saxena 5/33) lost to Sardar Patel Vidyalaya 88/1 in 10.3 overs (Samyak Jain 38).
