Tournament powered by PokerStars India

JNS Jaguars opting to bat first at the Somaiya Cricket Ground had all their batsman chipping in with quick starts but they lacked someone who could convert into a half century or more. Hemal Chitalia top scored with an aggressive 38 off 24 balls (5 fours) which accelerated the team total to 156/7 in 20 overs. From the bowlers, Alif Malkani was the pick of the lot taking 3/30 in 4 overs.

Chasing a 150+ score is always tricky and Fazlani United must have felt the pressure of chasing as they were bundled out for 117 runs in 19.3 overs. With the team struggling at 4/23, it was Samad Motorwala raising the hopes with a fighting knock of 54 runs in 40 balls coming at no.5. Samad smashed 2 fours and 4 sixes but lacked support from the other end as JNS Jaguars bowlers did an excellent job with everyone coming up with handy spells clipping away a wicket or two at regular junctures.

Result- JNS Jaguars win the match by 39 runs
