It was a close encounter during the GDC when Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) XI faced Bombay Gymkhana on April 11 in Mumbai. Winning the toss and electing to bat first, MCA posted a respectable 149-9 in 20 overs, thanks to some solid performances in the middle order. After losing the opening pair of Ojas Mehta (7) and Yash Ramchandani (0) cheaply, a lot was expected from the MCA middle order. Standing up to the expectations, Jeetinder Diwan (24), Mukund Jalan (30), Vijay Singh (37), and Amit Nayyar (29) contributed well with the bat to take up their side to a decent total. With the ball, Charan Shetty was the pick of the bowlers as he scalped 3-28 in his four overs. Vikrant Rambhia and Shailendra Singh also bowled well to pick up two wickets each.

In reply, Bombay Gymkhana started off the chase on a positive note as the opening pair of Praveen Lekhraj (40) and Sumeir Zaveri (28) stitched a 69-run partnership in 56 balls. However as Zaveri departed, the wickets started to fall in a flurry. It was Amit Nayyar who got into the thick of things as he managed to pick up 4-17 in his three overs. Piyush Patel and Yash Ramchandani were the other bowlers who accounted for one wicket each. In the end, Bombay Gymkhana was reduced to 136-7 in 20 overs, thus falling short of 12 runs.

First with the bat and then with the ball, Amit Nayyar had an wonderful outing and was deservingly awarded as the Man of the Match.
