Opting to bat first, Goregaon Sports Club did not have the best of outings with the bat as they were bowled out for 141 in 27.2 overs.

In reply, Dadar Union Sports Club cruised to the target in 25.4 overs at the loss of just two wickets. Onkar Jadhav and Siddharth Akre stitched a match-winning partnership to steer their side home. While Jadhav muscled an unbeaten 80, Akre hammered an undefeated 42.
