GBSC (Goregaon Boys Sports Club) & CPCC (Chandrakant Pandit Cricket Clinic) faced each other for an intense league encounter at the Aarey Bhaskar Ground in Goregaon, Mumbai.

GBSC made the full use of winning the toss as they went on to score a mammoth 170/7 in 20 overs. Their openers Manoj & Vishal Pendurkar failed to convert their starts but it was their no.3 batsman Mukund Sangli who came in and changed the whole script of the game. Mukund Sangli scored a 21 ball 47 and smashed 5 glorious boundaries and 3 big sixes. Mukund was outright dominating against the bowlers and kept the run-rate ticking. He was smashing the ball with complete authority & managed to have a strike rate above 220 in his 21 ball stay at the crease. Mukund also got great support from Kishore Hande who was equally dangerous and destructive at the crease. Kishor just faced 15 balls but he went on to score 42 from it at a strike rate of almost 300(which also included 4 sixes). In fact Mukund & Kishor engaged in an epic game changing 94 run partnership coming off just 34 balls.
