A scintillating knock by Thoufeeq 49 (14 balls, 7×6) late in the innings ensured they reached a huge total of 212 in 20 overs. A few dropped catches and lack of disciplined bowling didn’t help Prince XI Padubidri’s cause and ended up being set a formidable target to chase. Hari Prasad was the successful bowler (2-48) for Prince XI Padubidri.

Chasing a daunting target Prince XI Padubidri kept on loosing wickets at regular intervals and ended up only scoring 116 all out in 15.5 overs giving Mysore Royals ANIB XI on Top a 96 runs comprehensive victory and they remained unbeaten in the tournament. Zahoor Farooqui(2-18), Khizer Mohd. (2-28) and Sarosh Kadalilae(2-21) did most of the damage in Mysore Royals ANIB XI on Top’s bowling department. Jayesh Suvarna (29 of 25 balls) was the highest scorer for Prince XI Padubdri.
