Published

on

The much-anticipated Mauka Indoor Warz Final at Tipu Sultan Ground, Mumbai, on January 11, 2025, saw the Mavericks deliver a commanding performance to crush the Sharks by a staggering 143 runs. This high-octane clash was a display of cricketing dominance as Mavericks stamped their authority on both batting and bowling fronts to claim the coveted title.

 

Mavericks’ Batting Brilliance

 

Opting to bat first, the Mavericks unleashed a batting masterclass, posting a mammoth 230/9 in their allotted 20 overs. The innings was headlined by Siddharth Barot, who smashed a scintillating 60 off just 25 balls, including eight boundaries and three sixes at a jaw-dropping strike rate of 240.00.

 

Mayur provided the perfect foundation with a classy 58 off 40 balls, laced with 10 fours. Adding the finishing fireworks, Shubham Chaturvedi hammered 37 off just 13 balls at a blistering strike rate of 284.62, smashing three fours and four sixes. Their collective effort ensured the Sharks faced an uphill battle.

 

Tushant Shetty: The Game-Changer with the Ball

Defending a massive total, Tushant Shetty produced a spell for the ages. His fiery 4/12 in four overs, including a maiden, decimated the Sharks’ batting lineup. Shetty’s ability to extract movement and maintain tight lines left the Sharks reeling at 87 all out in just 16 overs.

 

Chaitanya Sarpotdar (2/7) and Atharva Chandorkar (2/17) provided excellent support, ensuring no respite for the Sharks’ batters.

 

Sharks’ Collapse Under Pressure

 

The Sharks never recovered from an early onslaught. They lost their top three batters for ducks within the first two overs, courtesy of Shetty’s brilliance and sharp fielding. Harshit Mestry’s valiant 20 off 13 balls and Yash Shah’s gritty 22 off 27 were the only bright spots in an otherwise dismal chase.
