Sachi XI delivered a well-rounded performance to win the All-Goa Panchayat and Municipality T20 tournament, organised by Saibaba Sports Club, at Uzzate ground in Amona. In the final, they defeated Nageshi Youth Bandoda by 4 wickets to claim the title.

After winning the toss and choosing to field, Sachi XI's bowlers led by Man-of-the-Match Somesh Prabhudessai, who picked up 3/32, made a significant impact. Nageshi Youth faced a disciplined bowling attack, but Shrinivas Phadte stood out, scoring 50 off 29 balls, including 8 boundaries and a six. Contributions from Vishwajeet Gaonkar (21), Kedar Naik (21), and Sachin Kurpaskar (17) helped Nageshi Youth reach a total of 138 in 19.4 overs.
Alongside Somesh, Gopal Gawas (2/24), Avishkar Mone (2/32), and Deepraj Gauns (1/29) played key roles in restricting Nageshi Youth to a modest total.
In reply, Sachi XI chased down the target in 15.2 overs, losing six wickets. Sahil Gauns was the top scorer with a quickfire 46 off 30 balls, while Samarth Gauns added a blistering 30 off 8 balls, including 3 sixes.
