Aakash Tigers MWS, led by Shams Mulani, clinch their inaugural triumph in the T20 Mumbai League 2025, navigating a nail-biting 5-over encounter
Smackdown at the Wankhede: Tigers Roar Over Panthers in Rain-Hit T20 Mumbai League Clash
Mumbai city pulsed with cricket fever on a stormy Saturday as Aakash Tigers MWS outmuscled North Mumbai Panthers by a thrilling 22-run margin in a rain-soaked contest. The high-scoring T20 Mumbai League 2025 competition took place at the iconic Wankhede Stadium.
In this five-over-a-side battle, the Panthers, led by none other than Prithvi Shaw, stumbled under intense pressure. The Tigers had set a challenging target of 67 runs on a wicket offering generous assistance to bowlers. Despite a cautious start, the Panthers reached 45/2 when Shaw found himself back in the pavilion following a inspired piece of bowling by Sylvester DSouza. Eliminated by lack of pace, Shaw could only manage an unimpressive skier, handing the catch to the delighted Shams Mulani.
Meanwhile, the Tigers displayed resilience despite frequent wicket loses. The duo of Mulani and Arjun Dani pushed the Tigers to a formidable 66/7. Fans rued the fact that a heavy downpour spoiled the much-anticipated match between Bandra Blasters and Triumphs Knights MNE at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.
