Key moments included Siddhant Adhatrao's resilient half-century and an unbroken 33-run partnership in the closing overs by Suryash Shedge and Makarand Patil.

In their response, the Falcons' innings began with hiccups as Hitesh Kadam claimed quick wickets. However, Shreyas Iyer and Angkrish Raghuvanshi stabilized with a crucial 54-run partnership. Further contributions by Vinayak Bhoir and Akash Parkar put the Falcons in a strong position, eventually leading to a thrilling victory with four balls to spare, Kush Kariya also contributing.

Earlier the same day, Bandra Blasters clinched a nail-biting one-run victory over Aakash Tigers at DY Patil Stadium.
