Chinmay Sutar enhanced his reputation as a big-match player with a second successive half-century before MSC Maratha Royals\u2019 experienced bowling unit held its nerve to script a successful defence of the T20 Mumbai title with a tense eight-run victory over ARCS Andheri in the final at the Wankhede Stadium here on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Having soaked in the pressure with a match-winning knock in the semifinal, Chinmay once again rose to the occasion when it mattered the most. His composed 61 (52b, 4×4, 2×6), coupled with a crucial 65-run stand with captain Siddhesh Lad (33, 25b, 3×4, 1×6), rescued Royals from a precarious position and guided it to a competitive 154 for five on a sluggish surfaceoffering appreciable assistance to the spinners.<\/p>\n

The chase ebbed and flowed. Maxwell Swaminathan\u2019s off-spin strangled Andheri during the PowerPlay before Royals tightened the screws through Aditya Dhumal\u2019s left-arm spin in the middle overs. Yet, thanks to opener Divyaansh Saxena\u2019s 51 (40b,4×4, 3×6), the contest remained alive with Shivam Dube at the crease.<\/p>\n

When the India all-rounder took guard for the final phase, Andheri required 51 runs from 31 deliveries. The duel between Dube and Tushar Deshpande was set to determine the result.<\/p>\n

The 18th over brought both drama and emotion. Lad, who had taken the field despite battling a serious elbow injury, broke down after aggravating it. Amid the interruption, Dube launched Deshpande for a towering six to briefly tilt momentum in Andheri\u2019s favour.<\/p>\n

But Deshpande, who finished as the tournament\u2019s leading wicket-taker, responded in style. The pacer forced a miscued pull from Dube, with Dhumal completing a vital catch in the deep.<\/p>\n

Four deliveries later, veteran Gaurav Jathar fell to Irfan Umair, a dismissal that triggered heated exchanges between players from both camps as tempers flared. Rohan Raje delivered a superb final over to dash Andheri\u2019s hopes and spark jubilant celebrations in the Royals camp.<\/p>\n
