Published on: January 17, 2026 4:40 PM

In a stunning first-class cricket match, SNGPL failed to chase a target of just 40 runs, getting all out for 37. PTV defended the tiny total, setting a new record in cricket history. The match created headlines as one of the lowest successful defenses ever recorded.

The game was part of the President’s Trophy, where PTV and SNGPL faced off in a historic low-scoring contest. Despite needing only 40 runs to win, SNGPL collapsed under pressure. Their entire batting lineup could not reach the target, finishing three runs short.

This match also broke a 231-year-old record. Previously, in 1794, MCC failed to chase 41 runs against Oldfield. Cricket historians now consider PTV’s defense a legendary performance in the sport.
