Put into bat, Bandra Busters batsmen struggled against some tight bowling – first by the medium pacers and later by their spinners – and could muster only 145 before they were bowled out. Chasing not so formidable score, the Worli batsmen played with a lot of calm and composure with their opener Steven Joseph leading the chase. Though they did lose a couple of wickets, they were always in control and were home with nearly four overs to spare.
Brief scores: Bandra Busters 145 all out in 18.5 overs (Roshan Ade 26; Ajoy Singh 3/16, Sandeep Shinde 2/23, Devendra Kakad 2/32) lost to Worli Pitch Smashers 146/4 (Stevan Joseph 44, Charles Sam 29, Ketan Choudhary 28; Rohan Ade 3/35) by 6 wkts.
