T20 Mumbai League: Mulani-led Aakash Tigers Secure First Win In 5-over Thriller
North Mumbai Panthers: Shams Mulani-led Aakash Tigers MWS rode a power-packed batting performance to pip Prithvi Shaw’s North Mumbai Panthers by 22 runs in a rain-hit match in Season 3 of T20 Mumbai League 2025 at the Wankhede Stadium here on Saturday. With heavy rain forcing a delayed start, the match was reduced to five overs a side.
Chasing a challenging target of 67 runs on a pitch which was offering quite a fair bit of movement, the Panthers were off to a cautious start. With only 10 runs coming off the first two overs, Panthers openers Shaw and Divyaansh Saxena tried to force the pace but were pegged back by some incisive bowling and the slow outfield.
With the pressure building up, a visibly frustrated Shaw tried to smash a Sylvester DSouza over long-off but was outfoxed by the lack of pace and only managed to offer an easy skier to his opposite number, Shams Mulani. As Shaw trudged off the field, the Panthers’ hopes of an unlikely win seemed to depart along with him, with the chase coming to a tame end at 45/2.
