The final league match between Santacruz Crackers and Shivaji Park Superstars was a virtual quarter-final and the winner was sure to qualify for the semi-finals. Santacruz Crackers won the toss and elected to put the opponents to field.

The opening partnership of 40 runs laid a strong foundation for a good total. However, the middle order failed to put up any partnerships and kept losing wickets at regular intervals. But, Mehul Kamat’s 40 off 34 and Milind Darekar’s 39 off 21 led Santacruz Crackers to a decent total of 150.

In response, Shivaji Park Superstars’ opener Amar Padhye hit 39 runs off 23 and gave a good start for the chase. But then Shivaji Park Superstars lost 3 wickets in quick succession. However, just when things seemed shaky for the team, Nishant Sabnis and Yogesh Patel put a 93 run stand and led the team to victory.

Yogesh Patel was declared as the man of the match for his all-round performance of 3 wickets with the ball and 48 runs with the bat.
