Mulund Gymkhana opting to bat first in the all important finals could only muster an average total of 111/4 in 20 overs which is definitely not the most formidable totals to defend in a T20 game. Saif Khan at no.3 top scored with a solid 56 off 52 balls but lacked support from the other end as they lacked someone who could accelerate in the death overs. The bowlers did an excellent job with Ravi Gupta being the most economical conceding 12 runs in 4 overs while Shirish Patil (1/17) and Himanshu Kumar (1/20) being the pick of the bowlers.

Chasing a modest 113, it was a mere formality for Rising Star Sports Foundation as they sealed off the chase in mere 14.4 overs. All-rounder Himanshu Kumar opening the innings took on the bowlers from the word Go hitting an unbeaten 65* off mere 45 balls (8 fours).

Rising Star Sports Foundation win the match by 9 wkts while Himanshu Kumar was declared ‘man of the match’ for his all-round performance.

With this win, Rising Star Sports Foundation also become the winners of the prestigious Kalyan Premier League’19.
