Guwahati Royals registered a convincing eight-wicket win over Tezpur Titans in Match 15 of the Assam Premier League 2026 at the ACA Stadium on Saturday, chasing down 147 in just 12.5 overs to move to second place in the points table. Rohit Sen and Sanjay Kumar Singh set up the victory with explosive half-centuries, putting on 108 for the opening wicket.
