Parth Rai bowled well in tandem with Pandey and claimed 23/4 in seven overs.

In reply, Mahindra Logistics made light work of the run chase as they completed the formalities in 11.1 overs. They won the match by nine wickets. Sarvesh Shiralkar led the run chase from the front with a 38-ball 23, hitting two boundaries. Kushal Dawane (18 not out) and Ihsaan Amin (10 not out) guided their team to a comfortable win.
