However, two dependable names and also one of the most promising names in Mumbai cricket, Musheer Khan and Mumbai Skipper Divyansh Saxena stitched a match-changing 169run stand between them to push their team to a thriller of a win. Musheer Khan scored an unbeaten 54* while the in-form Divyansh smashed a stroke-filled 102* taking the game away from the opposition. Payyade won the finals by 8wkts & Divyansh Saxena was awarded ‘Man of the Final’ as well as the ‘Man of the Series’. Atharva Ankolekar got the ‘Best Bowler Award’ for taking 10 wickets.
