Naman Dhir, the Amritsar captain, was subsequently recognized as Player of the Series following his critical impact. During the group phase he recorded a blistering 173 off sixty‑four balls; in the semi‑final he added an explosive 91 to drive the team toward the destination.

With disciplined bowling complemented by clinical run‑building and a balanced attack, the Soormas secured the championship. Their coordinated defense and ability to find death‑over solutions ensured victory in a tightly contested final.

In the concluding encounter, Amritsat displayed a blend of strategic bowling and composed batting, completing the campaign in style.
