Electing to bat first, the Avengers posted 155 for 7 in 20 overs. Early setbacks saw them slump to 42 for 5, but a crucial partnership between Anant Prabhugaonkar (17) and skipper Siddhesh Prabhu Alvencar (38) steadied the innings. A late unbeaten cameo by Gururaj Bale (21*) pushed the total to a competitive score.

However, a resilient 28 from Sahil Adwalpalkar and a calm final partnership of 36 runs between Granthik Buyao (21*) and Dinraj Pai Khot (10*) guided Rangers to 159 for 9 in 18.1 overs, marking their third consecutive win.
