Mumbai’s Thakur Stadium witnessed a thrilling clash on January 4, 2025, as Borivali United XI delivered a commanding performance to trounce Spartans Strikers XI by a massive 70 runs in the WLC Final. With standout displays from both batsmen and bowlers, Borivali United XI clinched the title with style and grace.

 

Shubham Palande’s Batting Masterclass

The Borivali United innings was powered by the scintillating blade of Shubham Palande, whose 84 off just 52 balls left the opposition in awe. His majestic knock, studded with 12 boundaries and two towering sixes, set the tone for the innings, ensuring his team posted a formidable total of 219/5 in their 20 overs. Shubham was well-supported by Vicky Singh (38 off 27) and Amit Ghawali, who provided fireworks at the death with an unbeaten 32 off 14 balls, striking at a jaw-dropping 228.57.

 

Kamlesh Vyas – The Destroyer with the Ball

Defending a hefty total, Borivali United’s bowlers rose to the occasion, spearheaded by the wily Kamlesh Vyas. His spell of 4/13 in 3.1 overs dismantled Spartans Strikers XI’s middle and lower order, earning him the status of the match’s MVP. Kamlesh’s precision and ability to extract something extra from the surface proved too much for the opposition.

 

Spartans Strikers XI’s Lone Warriors

The Spartans began their chase with a glimmer of hope, thanks to solid contributions from Shubham (41 off 33) and captain Omkar (40 off 30). However, their efforts were in vain as wickets kept tumbling at regular intervals, with no other batter managing to cross the 20-run mark. Despite their captain’s leadership efforts, Spartans Strikers XI were bundled out for 149 in 19.1 overs.

 

The Turning Points

Two crucial moments sealed the game for Borivali United:

 

1. The fiery opening spell from Kamlesh Vyas, which derailed Spartans’ middle order.

 

 

2. Shubham Palande’s dominating innings, which ensured that Spartans were always chasing the game.

 

 

 

Final Words

Borivali United XI displayed a perfect blend of aggression and strategy. Their players rose to the occasion, with Shubham Palande’s bat and Kamlesh Vyas’ ball doing the heavy lifting. Spartans Strikers XI, while valiant, will rue their inability to capitalize on starts and stem the flow of runs.

 

Cricket fans at Thakur Stadium were treated to a game of high drama and brilliance—a match that celebrated the spirit of cricket and crowned Borivali United XI as deserved champions.
