On March 9, Route Mobile Ltd. took on Automotive Manufacturers in Mumbai during the MCA (Mumbai Cricket Association) Corporate Trophy tournament. Route Mobile Ltd. won the toss and elected to bat first.

Batting first, Route Mobile Ltd. were bowled out for 283. Three batters from Route Mobile scored delectable half-centuries, including Vaishnav Narvekar (86 runs), Vishal Dhagaonkar (78) and Sumeet Dhekale (50) to help their team post a formidable score on board. Narvekar was the top scorer for Route Mobile Ltd. For Automotive Manufacturers, Jayshal Wadiyal and Akash Kharvi chipped in with three wickets apiece. 

In reply, Automotive Manufacturers could only manage 87 as they were bundled out in 29.2 overs, losing the match by 196 runs Dashrath Chavan fought hard for his 30 runs but failed to find able allies that would bat with him to see the team home. For Route Mobile Ltd. it was Shashikant Kadam, who wreaked havoc with the ball striking with 5-15. Kadam was handsomely rewarded for his consistency. He received good support from Saeed Shaikh who scalped 3-8. 

Route Mobile Ltd.’s batter Vaishnav Narvekar and bowler Shashikant Kadam were the top performers of the match and their match winning contributions helped the team clinch a 196-run win over Automotive Manufacturers during the MCA Corporate Trophy.
