DY Patil Sports Stadium: Akash Parkar’s Super Over exploits powered SoBo Mumbai Falcons to a short and sweet win in the opening match of the third edition of the T20 Mumbai league at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Stadium here on Wednesday.

Riding on Parkar’s sensational knock of unbeaten 27 runs off six balls – facing all the six balls in the Super Overs – the Falcons set ARCS Andheri a monumental target of 28 runs off six balls. Seasoned pacer Siddharth Raut then restricted Shivam Dube and Musheer Khan by conceding just 13 runs in the over.

Earlier in the morning, a spell of showers delayed the toss by 45 minutes after a sparkling opening ceremony that marked the league’s return after six years. Captain Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Amogh Bhatkal got the Falcons off to a brisk start.
