Played at the JBM School Noida, it was the all important clash between MCC and NDCC where in NDCC won the toss and elected to bat first with the back of their strong batting line up. Their aim was to make a big total and put the opposition under pressure.

Batting first and opening the innings, openers Saurabh and Tony gave a flying start with Saurabh scoring a quickfire 56 while Tony taking on the bowlers with an attacking 87 which set the tone for their innings. Both the openers dominated the bowlers with complete dominance as they took their team to a very competitive score of 202/6 in 20 overs. From MCC, Kunal with 3/28 was the pick of the bowlers.

Defending a total of 203 where MCC had to play at a run rate of almost 10+, MCC must have felt the pressure of chasing as they were skittled out by the NDCC bowlers for mere 42runs/all out. The bowler who inflicted the maximum damage was this wily left-arm spinner Dhruv Batra who came up stunning bowling figures of 5/4 in 2overs (1maiden).
