Advancing from the league round, it was the super six match between Devils United & Corporate Strikers at Elf Oval ground in Mumbai in Netmagic Premier League 2017 Cricket Tournament. Corporate strikers which are considered a strong team in the tournament loss the toss and Devils United elected to bat first in order to capitalize the situation and make the most of the batting track.

Corporate strikers managed 79/5 in 10 overs with their all-rounder Ganesh Sawant being the top scorer with 22*. Ganesh remained unbeaten and upped the rate in the last slog overs of the game.

But it was not a comfortable victory for them as they were at one point stuck at only 35-40 runs in 6 overs. It was some sloppy fielding & late onslaught by the Devils United batsman & especially Sushil kumar Gupta who scored a match winning 40*off just 22 balls. His 40* was outright entertaining to watch and included 4 fours and 2 big sixes towards long on to enthrall the spectators.

Devils united won the match by a comfortable margin of 9 wickets and all-rounder Sushil Gupta was adjudged ‘man of the match’ for his brilliant performance. Devils united defeated a strong team like Corporate strikers and they qualify for the next stage i.e semi finals (20-20 over) stage of the tournament & looking at their current form, they certainly look favorites to win the tournament too!
