The middle order complimented Zaveri well as Jairaj Thakkar (34), Vishal Shah (35), Harsh Mehta (35 not out), and Sanjay Bohra (39 not out) contributed significantly with the bat. Aarya Diwan was the pick of the bowlers for MCA as he scalped 3-18 in his four overs.

Apart from Kumar Adnani (23), Yash Ramchandani (22 not out), and Amit Nayyar (27), none of the other batsmen got off to a start. Harsh Mehta (3-32 in four overs) and Kalpesh Sanghvi (2-34 in four overs) bowled well in tandem to bundle out MCA inside 20 overs.

Harsh Mehta of NSCI was presented with the Man of the Match award for his stellar performance with both, bat and ball.
