Joel Price retained the Purple Cap in Week 9 of the Varistha Cheltenham Premier T20, despite a subdued outing in Qualifier 2 against the Tewkesbury Royals. He bowled just 2 overs and conceded 14 runs without taking a wicket, as his team fell short in a 5-wicket defeat.
While it marked his second consecutive wicketless game, Price's exceptional performances earlier in the tournament have kept him at the top of the wicket-taking charts. His control, accuracy, and ability to deliver in key moments continue to make him one of the tournament’s standout bowlers. As the competition approaches its final stage, Price remains a pivotal figure with the Purple Cap still firmly in his grasp.
